RFR: 8000975: (process) Merge UNIXProcess.java.bsd & UNIXProcess.java.linux (& .solaris & .aix)

[Martin Buchholz]

Belated review.

Peter, thank you very much for taking on this difficult unification task.
 This is great work!

+                case SOLARIS:
+                    if (osArch.equals("x86")) { osArch = "i386"; }

It's very sad that ... there's no portable way of getting the name of
libarchdir.  I thought os.arch system property would suffice, but
apparently not on Solaris?

To avoid repetition, I would iniitalize with a vararg list of launch
mechanisms, of which the first one is always the default.
+        LINUX(LaunchMechanism.VFORK, EnumSet.of(LaunchMechanism.FORK,
LaunchMechanism.VFORK)),

LINUX(LaunchMechanism.VFORK, LaunchMechanism.FORK),

Never use toUpperCase without a Locale, to avoid the "Turkish i problem"
+                            lm = LaunchMechanism.valueOf(s.toUpperCase());
toUpperCase(Locale.ENGLISH)
