RFR: 8349620: Add VMProps for static JDK

Please review this change that adds the `jdk.static` VMProps. It can be used to skip tests not for running on static JDK.

This also adds a new WhiteBox native method, `jdk.test.whitebox.WhiteBox.isStatic()`, which is used by VMProps to determine if it's static at runtime. 

`@requires !jdk.static` is added in `test/hotspot/jtreg/runtime/modules/ModulesSymLink.java` to skip running the test on static JDK. This test uses `bin/jlink`, which is not provided on static JDK. There are other tests that require tools in `bin/`. Those are not modified by the current PR to skip running on static JDK. Those can be done after the current change is fully discussed and reviewed/approved.
