7062856: Disassembler needs to be smarter about finding hsdis after 1.7 launcher changes Summary: do explicit lookup emulating old LD_LIBRARY_PATH search Reviewed-by:

Changes to launcher in the JDK7 removed the default setting of LD_LIBRARY_PATH which was being used to find the disassembler. I added explicit logic to perform a lookup equivalent to the previous behaviour. Tested with truss to confirm search paths and PrintNMethods.

I also fixed an annoyance where every separate invocation of the disassembler emitted the "Disassembling ..." message so that it would only print it again if it changed.
