RFR: JDK-8222489: jcmd VM.system_properties gives unusable paths on Windows

[Yasumasa Suenaga]

Hi Chihiro,

I think this problem is caused by spec of `Properties::store(Writer)`.

`Properties::store(OutputStream)` says that the output format is as same as `store(Writer)` [1].
`Properties::store(Writer)` says that `#`, `!`, `=`, `:` are written with a preceding backslash [2].

So I think we should not use `Properties::store` to serialize properties.


Thanks,

Yasumasa
