RFR(XS): 8037589: PrintFlagsFinalGetter to testlibrary

[Vladimir Kozlov]

I don't get why you forking new JVM process to get flags value. It is 
very expensive way to get info.
Why not use WB api to get flags values? Current JVM should run already 
with all flags specified on command line.

Thanks,
Vladimir
