>> This RFE introduces a new compile command to limit memory usage per compilation. It complements and is based upon the JIT memory statistic introduced with https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8317683.

>> This new memory limit is applied during compilation for either C1 or C2. It has one of two modes:
>> - *crash* mode (mainly for compiler devs), which aborts with hs-err file when the ceiling is reached, right in the compiler thread at the allocation point that triggered the ceiling
>> - *stop* mode, which stops the compilation similarly to how hitting the node limit in C2 would stop the compilation.

>> #### Usage
>> 
>> The compile command takes the form `-XX:CompileCommand:MemLimit,<method>,<memory size>[~<option>]`

>> The memory size that can be specified as usual. The command also takes an optional trailing option, separated from the memory size by a tilde (odd choice but needed because of https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8318214).
>> 
>> The `<suboption>` can be either `crash` or `stop` and distinguishes between the aforementioned modes. If omitted, the default is "stop".

>> Since `MemLimit` is based on the JIT statistic, it is implicitly enabled, so there is no need to explicitly enable it with `MemStat`.
