Review Request: JDK-8001334 - Remove use of JVM_* functions from java.io code

[Dan Xu]

I understand now. Here is the updated webrev to directly map IO_Append 
to handleWrite in *nix platforms, 
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~dxu/8001334/webrev.03/.

I checked FileOutputStream.java source code, and we do guarantee the 
consistency of append flag between open and write operations. Thanks!
