Description
Phi nodes are generated when needed to represent instance's fields values to scalar 
replace an allocation. They are generated during memory optimization by using 
split_through_phi optimization. It creates problem when we do this for loop's Phi 
since there is no a guard against infinite (for each optimization path for the loop) 
generation of such values Phi nodes.

Comments
SUGGESTED FIX The changeset contains the next additional changes. Fix TypeAryPtr::xmeet() and dump2() methods for new array instances. Move the code in MemNode::Ideal_common() to the separate method step_through_mergemem() which will be used in the next EA changes. Replace incorrect assert (static calls are not only runtime calls) in MemNode::Ideal_DU_postCCP() with more precise asserts. Fix the assert in MergeMemNode::Ideal() to allow duplicated references when the transformation is still in 'progress'.

SUGGESTED FIX Add the instance's field information to PhiNode to reuse the same value Phi for each optimization path for a loop.
