Currently, APX is not enabled consistently between product and debug builds.
If the hardware supports Intel APX:
1) In product builds, APX is disabled by default, even if the user explicitly enables it using `-XX:+UnlockExperimentalVMOptions -XX:+UseAPX`.
2) In debug builds, APX is enabled by default regardless of whether the user explicitly enables it or not.
**The goal of this PR is to enable APX for both product and debug builds if and only if the user explicitly enables it using `-XX:+UnlockExperimentalVMOptions -XX:+UseAPX`.**
