This prevents the specialized ZGC stubs for `Object[]` array copy from processing undefined object alignment padding words as valid object pointers. For further details about the specific failure, see initial analysis of [JDK-8312749](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8312749) by Erik Österlund and Stefan Karlsson and comments in `test/hotspot/jtreg/compiler/gcbarriers/TestArrayCopyWithLargeObjectAlignment.java`.

On top of that, it relaxes an assertion in the idealization of `ArrayCopy` nodes violated by [JDK-8312749](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8312749) and reported in [JDK-8315029](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8315029) (new changes in `arraycopynode.cpp`, new regression test `TestCloneArrayWithDifferentLengthConstness.java`). The original, stricter assertion checks that, while idealizing an ArrayCopy node, the "constness" of the array copy's word-length (whether it is known by C2 to be constant or not) is equivalent to that of the array copy's element-length. For cases in which the element-length is within a small, fixed range (e.g. for an `int` array of length `3..4`) so that all element-length values lead to the same number of wo
 rds (`2`), the assertion used to hold before this changeset only because of weak type propagation in `AndL` (preventing the constant word-length to be discovered), see the left graph below:

@albertnetymk @vnkozlov @TobiHartmann could you please review this revised version of [JDK-8312749](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8312749)? The core changes remain identical, the only additional changes are an assertion relaxation and a second regression test (see description for details). Thanks!
