RFR (XS): 8023134: Rename VM LogFile to hotspot_pid{pid}.log (was hotspot.log)

[Staffan Larsen]

I'm not sure this change is only to the better. Since every run of a debug-build of hotspot creates this file, there is now going to be an enormous amount of these files create. At least for me that is going to be a big nuisance since they will clutter up every directory where I run hotspot. Would it be possible to keep hotspot.log as the default name, and have a flag which multiprocess tests can use to include the pid in the name?
