RFR: 8312585: Rename DisableTHPStackMitigation flag to THPStackMitigation

The flag newly added by [JDK-8312182](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8312182) is prompting the use of `-XX:+DisableTHPStackMitigation` to disable the THP stack mitigation, thus allowing THP in thread stacks. This double negation does not read well, and not in line with other mitigation flags like `IntelJccErratumMitigation`.

It would be better to rename the flag to avoid double-negation, before it proliferates to other JDK releases.

(I would have the same comment during the original review, but missed it :P)

Additional testing: 
 - [ ] GHA
 - [ ] Linux x86_64 fastdebug, affected test
