RFR: JDK-8136577: Make AbortVMOnException available in product builds

[Coleen Phillimore]

I was wondering if you could make the function debug_check_abort an 
inline function in exceptions.hpp that checks AbortVMOnException != NULL 
and calls a helper to save this conditional in all the callers?

static void debug_check_abort(Handle exception, const char* message = NULL) {
   if (AbortVMException != NULL)
     debug_check_abort_helper(exception, message);
   }
}

Thanks,
Coleen
