RFR: JDK-8290870: NMT: Increase MallocSiteTable size and allocate it only when needed

MST size is too small. It was created with a very strict footprint limit, since it needed to be created statically and unconditionally.
However, [JDK-8256844](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8256844) reworked NMT initialization and now we can move MST initialization to after argument parsing. Since it is only needed with -XX:NativeMemoryTracking=detail, it makes sense to only conditionally allocate it.
And therefore we can afford to make it larger.
At the moment, it is 511 entries wide. A typical VM run (release VM, reasonably complex scenario) comes to ~3000-6000 entries. Atm the median bucket chain length is 6-8, which is a lot.
Increasing table size to ~4000 drops median bucket chain length to 1, which is nice.
Example, spring petclinic boot up:
before:
Bucket chain length distribution:
unused: 1
longest: 14
median: 7
with table size 4099:
Bucket chain length distribution:
unused: 1751
longest: 5
median: 1
