>> Native Memory Tracking summary information can be obtained from a running VM using `jcmd` if started with `-XX:NativeMemoryTracking=summary/detail`. Using `jcmd` requires you to run a separate process and to parse the output to get the needed information. This change adds JFR events for NMT information to enable additional ways to consume the NMT data.

I hope all comments have been addressed now. I went with `NMTUsage` after all, turns out there was already a `MemoryUsage` class in the same folder.
