Vector API - Support for Double128, Double256 and Int256 datatypes

[Graves, Ian L]

All (and Shravya!),

I wanted to follow up by saying that, incidentally, I rolled up these changes and submitted them into the jdk/test/panama/vector-api-patchable directory already.  Hope I didn't jump the gun too much on that!  Shravya and I have been working together to flesh out the additional classes and add additional support for Code Snippet intrinsics.  Shravya has also done a bit of work in PatchableVecUtils that was subsumed in a previous commit of mine (same working copy on our end)!  I wanted to point that out specifically because I made the commit without realizing her work was in there without some attribution!

Hi Everyone,
This is Shravya Rukmannagari, Software Engineer at Intel and I recently started working with Ian Graves on the VectorAPI project. This is my first contribution to Panama-dev which adds support to Double128, Double256 and Int256 types.

Thanks!
