RFR (S): 7112912:Message "Error occurred during initialization of VM" on boxes with lots of RAM

[Thomas Schatzl]

Hi all,

  here is a new webrev for this issue. Changes are:

- merged code for os::has_allocatable_memory_limit of linux/bsd/solaris
into a single method.
- on 32 bit targets that method now tries to find the maximum
allocatable virtual memory limit by performing a binary search. In this
search, the method tries to find the largest allocatable block of
memory, and returns this size as limit.
It uses a binary search to do this. The old mechanism relied on some
manually determined number (2*G - 2*LargePageSize)
- fixed the description of MaxVirtMemFraction
- rename Arguments::allocatable_physical_memory() to
limit_by_allocatable_memory().
- the argument of os::has_allocatable_memory_limit() is now passed as
address.
- removed some obsolete comment

Tests: JPRT, manual testing on linux 32/64 bit, BSD 64 bit, Windows
32/64 bit. Additional manual testing targeted at the maximum memory
limit search on linux 32 bit.
