Debugging the JIT compiler Hotspot detection for ARM64

The other day we were working on the compiler detection of hotspots, originally implemented by Clément Béra during his PhD thesis. In Sista, hotspot detection is implemented as a countdown that looks like the following: the counter is loaded in a register, decremented and then a jump if carry detects if the substraction underflowed.
