RFR (XS): 8009408: gc/metaspace/ClassMetaspaceSizeInJmapHeap.java fails with "exit code 1"

[Bengt Rutisson]

Erik and Staffan,

The ProcessTools class has the method getPlatformSpecificVMArgs() that 
returns "-d64" if necessary. You can't use this as is since you need to 
get "J-d64" but I think we should do something to make your solution 
more general.

Either adding a possible prefix to the getPlatformSpecificVMArgs() or 
adding a separate method that returns "JDK-tools formatted" args. It 
seems a bit too limited to fix this only for your particular test. Would 
be nice to get it in to the testlibrary somehow.
