>> Updates the thread dump generated by HotSpotDiagnosticMXBean.dumpThreads and jcmd Thread.dump_to_file to include thread state and lock information. Also update the HotSpotDiagnosticMXBean.dumpThreads API description to link to a description of the JSON format dump as that format is intended to be parseable/read by tools.

>> The changes include some re-implementation of ThreadDumper. This is because it used PrintStream and didn't fail if there was an I/O error, e.g. file system full. Furthermore, the indentation to pretty print the json was fragile and hard to maintain so this is changed to use a supporting writer class to do this.
