[vector] more editorial changes, plus API tweaks

[Kharbas, Kishor]

Hi John,

I have a webrev which adds example of masked loops to package javadoc. Additionally it has code changes adding a new method (indexFromrange()) and making memory read/write operations work with masks.

Link - http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~kkharbas/vector-api/webrev-vector_unstable.00

Please let me know if the changes look good and can be pushed.

Thanks,
Kishor
