8387334: IR Framework tests should run in jtreg driver mode

[TobiHartmann]

When working on JDK-8381693, I noticed that some IR Framework tests in mainline are not executed in jtreg driver mode although they could. I fixed that and also removed useless @build statements and WhiteBox API includes.

I also noticed that a few of the vector tests using the VectorizationTestRunner framework like ArrayInvariantFillTest.java did not correctly pass VM arguments to the IR framework's Test VM. I fixed that and filed JDK-8387402 as follow-up. Running those tests in driver mode also required getting rid of the WhiteBox API usages. I modified VectorizationTestRunner.java to run the correctness tests in a separate VM.

The main advantage of this change is that the IR framework itself is not affected by expensive VM flags like -Xcomp anymore.

Thanks,
Tobias
