RFR(XS) 8073990: Deprecated "UseVectoredExceptions" VM options still defined in several globals files

[Volker Simonis]

Hi Dmitry,

the change looks good but I think you should also remove the line:

  { "UseVectoredExceptions",         JDK_Version::jdk(8), JDK_Version::jdk(9) },

from arguments.cpp with this change because in JDK9 you'd get an error
anyway if you'll try to use "UseVectoredExceptions".

Regards,
Volker
