RFR: JDK-8303166: Disable RTTI for Hotspot when building with MSVC [v2]

> Disable RTTI `-GR-` for Hotspot when building with MSVC. This drops the size of `jvm.dll` by roughly 1 MB. Hotspot does not rely on RTTI and it is disabled for both GCC/Clang and Open XL C/C++ already. This change disables it for MSVC, ensuring we do not accidently rely on RTTI for Windows-specific code while also decreasing the resulting binary size.

> Cheers to @alexmenkov for finding the tricky root cause of why disabling RTTI was causing a subset of serviceability agent tests to fail.
