> This patch adds a dedicated jtreg property to check which CABI is being used by the JDK, which can be used both to check whether the foreign linker is supported, and whether the fallback linker is being used. (and, possibly it can also be use to check for a particular ABI in case we want to add ABI specific tests).
> 
> Checking whether the foreign linker is supported currently requires using an unwieldy expression that checks if we are running on a platform that has a foreign linker port. Checking for the fallback linker currently uses `vm.flavor != "zero"` which is not always correct, since the fallback linker can also be used on other platforms which are not `zero`.
> 
> To initialize the property, VMProps directly reads `jdk.internal.foreig.CABI::current()`. Since this class is in an internal package, `--add-exports` flags are added as javac flags and VM flags for the extra prop definitions class.
