>> 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.
