Bug: http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=7192804
Webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~andrew/7192804/webrev.01/
OpenJDK8 Thread: http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/build-dev/2012-August/006645.html
OpenJDK8 Changeset: http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk8/jdk8/jdk/rev/baf30df50ce3

Rationale:

The fix for 7157855 added a VisualVM man page into the installed man pages for
all builds.  However, VisualVM is not part of OpenJDK builds.  This patch changes
the Makefile so that jvisualvm.1 is only installed on non-OpenJDK builds.

Differences from 8:

The patch is as-is on 8, except that the change to makefiles/Images.gmk (part of the new
build system only in 8) has been dropped.

Testing:

An OpenJDK build on x86_64+GNU/Linux shows that jvisualvm.1 is no longer installed with this
patch applied.  There is no way of testing the proprietary build.
