RFR: 8265473: Move os::Linux to its own header file

Another step of moving unnecessary stuff outside of os.hpp

The `os::Linux` class is used only by the Linux-specific code in HotSpot. Therefore, it should be moved outside of os.hpp, which is used by platform-independent code.

I don't have a good name for the new header. `os_linux.hpp` would have been a good name, but that's already taken, so I am settling on os_linux.impl.hpp. Suggestions are welcome.
