[jdk17u-dev] RFR: 8296545: C2 Blackholes should allow load optimizations [v3]

[Aleksey Shipilev]

> Unclean backport to improve Blackhole performance and match it to released JDK 20.
> The backport is unclean because there are two little conflicts:
>   1. The context conflict in `MemBarNode::make`, where the `MemBarStoreStore` was moved to another place. I resolved the conflict by hand: accepted only the `Blackhole` case removal.
>   2. IR Framework needs `MUL_I` constant for test to work.
> 
> Additional testing:
>   - [x] macos-aarch64-server-fastdebug, `compiler/irTests/blackhole` (includes new test)
>   - [x] Eyeballing perfasm outputs with/without this patch
