RFR(XS): 8065838: compiler/relocations/TestPrintRelocations.java times out after 1920 seconds

As a followup RFE, what if we had something like 
-XX:CompileCommand=eagercompile,java.lang.String*::* that could be used 
instead of -Xcomp? It would be like -Xcomp for methods matching the 
filter.  But unlike -Xcomp+compileonly, it would allow other hot methods 
to be compiled as needed, instead of forcing them to be interpreted.
