Please review a re-implementation of the initialization of System properties
moving some functions from native to Java.
The upcalls from native to java for each property are replaced by a
mechanism
to gather the platform, VM and command line properties and return them
from a single JNI call. The creation of the Properties instance and
applying
command line overrides is handled in Java instead of native.
The JVM_initProperties interface in Hotspot is replaced by
JVM_getProperties.
