It can be used to support testing of existing bailouts to prevent issues like [JDK-8318445](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8318445), and can test for issues only seen at runtime such as [JDK-8326376](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8326376). It can also be useful if we want to add more bailouts ([JDK-8318900](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8318900)).

The new flag found several missing `failing()` checks, which are added in this patch.
