Description
Java's rules for handling NaNs in floating point comparisons requires that extra fixup code be emitted for them.  Currently we do this all the time but for many fp tests the fixup code won't change the result of the comparison.  In those cases it should be eliminated.

Comments
EVALUATION Because Java has rules about how unordered values are treated in floating point comparisions we perform some complicated fixup of the condition codes when the parity bit is set. For some <, <=, >, and >= tests this fixup won't change the direction the test would take so it is unneeded. In the cases where the fixup will have an effect we can directly emit jumps based on the parity. To do this we add special condition code producers and consumers to match the cases where this can be optimized. The matching is somewhat complicated because we have to take into account both the compare operation and the Bool direction, so I had to replicate several of the condition code consumers. In general I did that using expand rules though in a few cases that wasn't possible. Since the code for these should be almost exactly the same for 32 and 64 bit, I made a few changes to make these portions of the ad files more similar. I also had to extend the short branch logic slightly since the jmpConUCF2 variants have two jumps in them which makes the reach of the branches slightly less. Additionally I fixed a bug in the adlc where line numbers were no longer matching up. I added support for format strings for condition code so that the opto assembly actually reads like the assembly would. Several of the new instructions have complicated opto formatting requirements so I added support for mixing code with format strings. tested with ctw, nsk, runthese, 32 and 64 bit with UseSSE=0 in addition to the default.
