[vectorIntrinsics] RFR: 8283598: [vectorapi] Add new vector operation for compress and expand bits [v5]

[Smita Kamath]

> Hi,
> 
> I've added support for new vector operations for compressing bits of integral vector types(Byte/Short/Integer/Long).
> The implementation is based on Compress or Generalized Extract mentioned in Hackers Delight by Henry S. Warren, Jr.
> The implementation does the following: given a mask and the number to be compressed, the bits of the number corresponding to the set mask bit are selected and compressed. 
> 
> Currently, this PR addresses only Java changes for compress bits operation. I've also updated the test framework.
> Do review and share feedback.
