RFR(M): 7147848: [macosx] com.sun.management.UnixOperatingSystem uses hardcoded dummy values

Scott, Steffan

(I am he one who put in the original lines of: return -1.0; // not available being replaced by this patch)

I was reluctant to implement these functions because the linux code was quite involved and it appeared to me that there might be some additional semantics to what was implemented than what was indicated by the function names alone.

I have not compared the code with the 'top' source, but it looks plausible.  As a sanity test, the function values being returned could be printed by a java program and visually compared with the output of 'top' as a system is loaded up.  It might also be wise to run the same java program on other platforms to make sure that the magnitude of the numbers is in the same ballpark.
