Specifically, as we expect the JVM to be able to load from an "input AOT cache" and write to an "output AOT cache", we should clearly identify the input and output caches in separate APIs:

E.g., `java -XX:AOTCache=static.jsa:dynamic.jsa`. That's because `-XX:AOTCache` was implemented as an alias of `-XX:SharedArchiveFile`, and the latter allows this usage.

Allowing two files in -XX:AOTCache will cause unnecessary complexity when we implement [JDK-8353598: Allow AOT cache to be used in training run](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8353598). Therefore, I added new test cases to disallow the use of two files.  This also means that we don't need to modify  the already over-complicated `ergo_init_classic_archive_paths()` for the AOT use cases

Changes requested by lmesnik (Reviewer).

test/hotspot/jtreg/runtime/cds/appcds/AOTFlags.java line 28:

> 26:  * @test
> 27:  * @summary "AOT" aliases for traditional CDS command-line options
> 28:  * @requires vm.cds & vm.compMode != "Xcomp"

The test completely ignore external VM flags, so it should have  
`@requires vm.flagless `
and no Xcomp exclusion is required.
