RFR (XXS): 7130404: [macosx] "os.arch" value should be "x86_64" for compatibility with Apple JDK6

[James Melvin]

Thanks for the reviews!  Updated webrevs with all comments...

http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~jmelvin/7130404/hotspot/webrev.01
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~jmelvin/7130404/jdk/webrev.01
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~jmelvin/7130404/corba/webrev.01

Main changes were to refine the use of string compares for Mac OS X...

< osName.startsWith("Mac OS")
 > osName.contains("OS X")

Any final comments?  A decision has not yet been made to include this
change or not.  I'll provide an update when there's progress.

- Jim
