RFR(S): 8227692: Remove develop feature PrintMallocStatistics

[Daniel D. Daugherty]

For anyone that happens to be searching JBS for what happened to the
'-XX:+PrintMallocStatistics' option, you might want to include some
guidance on how they get the equivalent information from NMT...

A short note in JDK-8227692 should suffice...
