The VM option EnableDynamicAgentLoading was added in JDK 9, default true, to allow deployment to choose whether to allow agents to be loaded/started in the VM. The VM option does the right thing for tools using the Attach API but jcmd JVMTI.agent_load was missed. This should be fixed to disallow loading JVMTI agents when the EnableDynamicAgentLoading is false.

Testing:
 - run new test `test/jdk/sun/tools/jcmd/TestJcmdNoAgentLoad.java`
 - TBD: submit mach5 tiers 1-5 to make sure no new regressions are introduced
