The test incorrectly expects that some system threads must be started in the `early JVMTI_PHASE_START` phase. However, there is a race here and it is possible that the `JVMTI_PHASE_LIVE` phase is reached before any system thread has been started. The fix is to wait for the first `THREAD_START` event at the `VM_INIT` event.

The update includes some other changes and minor refactoring:
 - the file `libMAAThreadStart.c` has been renamed to `libMAAThreadStart.cpp`
 - the test library `jvmti_common.hpp` is used where it is possible
 - static variable `printdump` has been removed
 - the static block with `loadLibrary` has been removed from the `MAAThreadStart.java`
 
 Testing:
  - ran the modified test locally
  - TBD: submit mach5 tiers 1-5
