RFR (S): 7129724: Fix location of core file in dump message on macosx

[Dmitry Samersoff]

Mikael,

Stepping aside MAC OS related changes, this code doesn't
respect OS settings of coredump pattern and location.

So is it better to create os::coredump_pattern() function
and change it to handle /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern
under Linux as well as MAC OS specific things?
