RFR: 8309727: Assert privileges while reading the jdk.incubator.vector.VECTOR_ACCESS_OOB_CHECK system property

A trivial use of the Vector API when run with the security manager and a domain that does not grant permissions fails with java.security.AccessControlException: access denied ("java.util.PropertyPermission" "jdk.incubator.vector.VECTOR_ACCESS_OOB_CHECK" "read").

The fix it minimal, as consistent with other system property access in the JDK - just access the property while asserting privileged. Note: no explicit permission grant to the vector module is required, as it is in the boot loader.

This is the only such security manager related issue I see in this code, and I have looked.
