[8u] RFR 8233197: Invert JvmtiExport::post_vm_initialized() and Jfr:on_vm_start() start-up order for correct option parsing

[Mario Torre]

Hi Andrew,

Without this patch the JVM segfaults when an agent tries to use JFR while
collecting startup events.

I agree on the general case but this one seems important to have it in, but
this of course unless there are issues with the actual code.

Cheers,
Mario
