The goal of this PR is to add a means of exposing security properties at runtime to aid the debugging security related issues/misconfigurations etc. Currently, only initial security properties set at start up can be exposed via the `InitialSecurityProperty` JFR event.
This patch introduces a new jcmd diagnostic command `VM.properties`, which enables developers to print either the current system properties or security properties of a running Java process via command-line arguments (-system or -security). To avoid clutter within the jcmd command list, the old `VM.system_properties` command is hidden, but not removed so will not break existing usages. The implementation of each is shared to reduce duplication.
