Neg intrinsics for byte, short and long types

[Paul Sandoz]

X-VectorBits.java.template
—

The template looks out of sync with the generated code.

E.g.  "#end[intOrFP]” moved from line 379 to line 350.


Just a thought. I suppose we could have implemented neg in the concrete Vector implementations as: 

  SPECIES.zero().sub(this);

Can that produce similar code as vpxor and vpsub* ? 

Thanks,
Paul.
