RFR: 8369442: ExitOnOutOfMemoryError should exit more gracefully

See RFE for more discussion. It seems we have a leeway in defining what "exit" means for `-XX:+ExitOnOutOfMemoryError`, and this PR does it more akin to `JVM_Halt`, rather than abrupt `os::_exit`. This gives VM a chance to shutdown some of its subsystems gracefully.

Comments welcome!

Additional testing:
 - [x] Linux x86_64 server fastdebug, `tier1`
 - [ ] Linux x86_64 server fastdebug, `all`
