RFR: 8220632: Suggest recompiling with a larger value of -Xmaxerrs/-Xmaxwarns if diagnostics were suppressed

[Ron Shapiro]

Regarding Jonathan's comments in the bug, would it be helpful/possible to
categorize the types of diagnostics not shown? For built-in diagnostics we
could try to group (maybe just the popular ones?) by their key?

42 symbols could not be found
15 errors from com.example.proc.ExampleProcessor
etc

?
