We seem to have a general problem (that we have know about for a couple of years - ref the discussion in [JDK-8236736](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8236736)) that notproduct flags are handled incorrectly throughout, so why not fix everything together?

I want to produce a simple fix for the crash issue, so that it could be backported if necessary.

Fixing the visibility issue of notproduct is quite involved and may affect many files (which read notproduct flags in product code).
