> This is the implementation of the draft [JEP: Ahead-of-time Command Line Ergonomics](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8350022)
> 
> - Implemented new flag `AOTCacheOutput`, which can be used to create an AOT cache using the "one-command workflow"
> - Added processing of the `JDK_AOT_VM_OPTIONS` environment variable that can supply extra VM options when creating an AOT cache
> - Added `%p` substitution for `AOTCache`, `AOTCacheOutput`, and `AOTConfiguration` options
> 
> Please see the [JEP](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8350022) and [CSR](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8356010) for detailed specification.
> 
> Examples:
> 
> 
> # Create an AOT cache with a single command:
> $ java -cp HelloWorld.jar -XX:AOTMode=record -XX:AOTCacheOutput=foo.aot HelloWorld
> Hello World
> Temporary AOTConfiguration recorded: foo.aot.config
> Launching child process /usr/bin/java to assemble AOT cache foo.aot using configuration foo.aot.config
> [...]
> Reading AOTConfiguration foo.aot.config and writing AOTCache foo.aot
> AOTCache creation is complete: foo.aot 10240000 bytes
> 
> # Create logging file for the AOT cache assembly phase
> $ export AOT_TOOL_COMMAND=-Xlog:cds:file=log.txt
> $ java -cp HelloWorld.jar -XX:AOTMode=record -XX:AOTCacheOutput=foo.aot HelloWorld
> 
> 
> Note: the child process is launched with Java API because the HotSpot native APIs are not sufficient (no way to set env vars for child process).
