RFR: 8266950: Remove vestigial support for non-strict floating-point execution

As part of JEP 306, the vestiges of HotSpot support for non-strict floating-point execution can be removed. All methods implicitly have strictfp semantics so the explicit checks for is_strict() can be replaced by true and the code reformulated accordingly.

There are still some names that include "strict" that could potentially be renamed to remove it, but the fact we have to have strict fp semantics is still important on some platforms, so the names help reinforce that IMO.

Testing: tiers 1-3

Thanks,
David
