Hello,

Please review the code changes for the following change request:

Bug: JDK-8136577: Make AbortVMOnException available in product builds

Fix: These changes make the JVM options AbortVMOnException and AbortVMOnExceptionMessage available in product builds by changing them from 'debug' to 'diagnostic' options. Having these in product builds would be very useful to capture diagnostic data when an application fails with exceptions. This would be very useful in troubleshooting issues where only an exception is thrown.

Webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~poonam/8136577/webrev.00/

Tests: Ran a simple testcase that throws exception and confirmed that it generates hs_err and core file when the specified exception occurs.

regards, Poonam
