This patch implements InlineTypePassFieldsAsArgs on AArch64 and the
associated stack extension/repair mechanism. It mostly follows the x86
implementation closely except for how the stack increment is stored in
the callee frame. On x86 the sp_inc stack slot stores the total size of
the frame which is the sum of the extension space, return address copy,
and the original method frame size (i.e. the total bytes needed to pop
the frame). On AArch64 we just store the size of the extension space. I
did it this way because it simplifies the stack repair code in
MacroAssembler::remove_frame (I've added some notes there to document
this). I don't think this should cause any problem because only the
MacroAssembler and platform-dependant frame walking code need to be
aware of this.

This patch includes JDK-8266609 which is a small refactoring in mainline
JDK to simplify how the frame size is passed around in the AArch64 C1
backend.

There was some X86 specific code in unpack_inline_args() in
macroAssembler_common.cpp. I've split this out into an arch-dependant
MacroAssembler::extend_stack_for_inline_args().

MacroAssembler::pack_inline_helper() and shuffle_inline_args() now take
a new Register val_array argument which is the register holding the
buffered oop array for packing. Previously it assumed this was already
loaded in RAX (x86) or x20 (AArch64) but IMO passing it in explicitly
makes the code easier to understand.

There is one new test failure: TestNullableInlineTypes.java. The test
seems functionally correct but there is a failure verifying the C2 IR
graph (see below). I haven't investigated this but the test enables
InlineTypePassFieldsAsArgs which we don't support yet on AArch64 so that
might be causing the failure.


Exception in thread "main" java.lang.RuntimeException: Graph for 'TestNullableInlineTypes::test26' contains forbidden node:
83  StoreL  ===  176  177  84  14  [[ 89 ]]  @compiler/valhalla/inlinetypes/MyValue3:exact+16 *, name=l, idx=6;  Memory: @rawptr:BotPTR, idx=Raw; !orig=82 !jvms: TestNullableInlineTypes::test26 @ bci:13 (line 704): expected false, was true


Tested tier1, runtime/valhalla, and compiler/valhalla on x86 and AArch64. There are some "bad AD file" failures on x86 but don't seem to be related to this patch.
