RFR: JDK-8213362 : Could not find libjava.dylib error when initializing JVM via JNI_CreateJavaVM

[Henry Jen]

Since there is no header file in JDK provides the function prototypes, I don’t think this is considered public(supported) APIs.

Anyway, in case a tools is build with launcher code, and shipped separately from JDK, that would be impacted by this bug. So I added a test call JLI_Launch as well. Please review the updated webrev[1].

Note that, JLI_Launch should not be used directly as it does’t handle the argument processing which is done in launcher/main.c.

Cheers,
Henry
