JDK-7090324: gclog rotation via external tool

Hi Yasumasa,
I've looked through the latest patch, it is much better! I just have two
comments:
- ostream.hpp:
Why did you add GCLogFileSize != 0 in should_rotate? The old check
just checked that _bytes_written > GCLogFileSize.
- TestGCLogRotationViaJcmd.java:
Could you use the helper class JDKToolLauncher to start jmap? The
code would then be slightly easier to read:
for (int times = 1; times < NUM_LOGS; times++) {
// Run jcmd <pid> GC.rotate_log
JDKToolLauncher jmap = JDKToolLauncher.create("jmap")
.addToolArg(pid)
.addToolArg("GC.rotate_log");
ProcessBuilder pb = new ProcessBuilder(jmap.getCommand());
// Make sure we didn't crash
OutputAnalyzer output = new OutputAnalyzer(pb.start());
output.shouldHaveExitValue(0);
}
Thanks,
Erik
