Hi all,
please review this trivial removal of the `MetadataFailAlot` flags; one of them,
`MetadataAllocationFailALotInterval` is unused anyway, and the other `MetadataAllocationFailALot` only prevents the attempt to retry metadata allocation in the VM operation.
This functionality does not seem to stress metadata allocation failure at all, just execution of the metadata VM operation, so I decided to just drop the second flag as well.
I considered keeping it maybe as `MetadataAllocationFailRetry` or something, but decided against it since it does not seem interesting to test. However I can at reviewer's request do that.
Testing: local compilation, gha, grepping hotspot tests/hotspot sources
Thanks,
Thomas
