RFR (S) round 0 for 8141068 Refactor -XXFlags= code in preparation for removal

[Coleen Phillimore]

Ron,

This looks really good!  Although I don't see why you need to pass 
vm_options_file argument into match_special_options_and_act now since 
it's not used afterward, so you only have to pass one NULL in the cases 
where vm_options_file is not allowed.

thanks,
Coleen
