Please review this change which brings the hotspot code up to date with how the Java metrics behave. On a system where swap accounting is disabled `VM.info` jcmd - for example - no longer reports an unsupported metric, but the memory limit instead as that is actually what is being in place.

I had to update the `TestMemoryWithCgroupV1.java` test as it skipped the swappiness testing based on the now gone output.

Testing:
- [x] Linux container tests on cg1 and cg2 with and without swap accounting.
- [x] New regression test fails on unpatched systems with `swapaccount=0` kernel option. Passes after.
- [ ] GHA (in progress)

Thoughts?
