Intrinsics For Vector API

[Paul Sandoz]

Hi,

Nice work.

Would you mind updating the patch to be in sync with the recent refactoring i made to the draft spec API?

Notably, all classes are now under one package, com.oracle.vector, and the methods to create vector instance have been moved to the species e.g.:

FloatVector.FloatSpecies<Shapes.S256Bit> species = (FloatVector.FloatSpecies<Shapes.S256Bit>)
  Vector.speciesInstance(Float.class, Shapes.S_256_BIT);
for (int i = 0; i < a.length; i += species.length()) {
    FloatVector<Shapes.S256Bit> av = species.fromArray(a, i);
    FloatVector<Shapes.S256Bit> bv = species.fromArray(b, i);
    av.add(bv).intoArray(c, i);
}

Thanks,
Paul.
