Code and Design Feedback request: 7114376: tune system dictionary size

[Karen Kinnear]

Final review please -

I reduced this to just add the command-line flag -XX:PredictedLoadedClassCount=#
and left the dynamic resizing for later.

webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~acorn/7114376.02/webrev/

Testing:
Manual testing of command-line options, CDS, scimark.
In parallel: JPRT, nsk, benchmarks

thanks,
Karen

p.s. the following files did not change between webrev.01 and webrev.02
agent/...
globals.hpp
vmStructs.cpp
