Vector API testing infrastructure

[Halimi, Jean-Philippe]

Thanks a lot for your feedback.

I agree with all of your points so far. I will work on that in the coming days.

Thanks to Razvan and Vivek's help, I published a new follow-up patch adding generated tests.

Cheers,

Nice work, Jp! Looks very good!

I second that. Please, add generated test cases as well.

Some other comments:

   * testng in test path is useless

Do you see any problems with putting files right into test/jdk/jdk/incubator/vector/?

   * In the longer term, there should be only 1 script left: the one which generates test sources from templates.

Best regards,
Vladimir Ivanov
