Can I please get a review of this change which proposes to add more diagnostics 
when a failure occurs in the jlink tool during the jpackage tests?

As noted in https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8277507, so far 3 failures 
have been reported in jpackage tests (across different test cases) with the 
same underlying cause coming from the jlink tool. Since this failure isn't 
specific to one or two tests and seems to be keep happening across these tests 
in `test/jdk/tools/jpackage/`, I decided to set this system property from one 
central location in the `HelloApp` which gets used by these tests. These 
failures have only been reported on macos (and specifically aarch64), but the 
commit here doesn't do any OS name checks, to keep this change simple. 
Furthermore, looking at the `jdk.tools.jlink.internal.JlinkTask` code, enabling 
this system property will _not_ generate any additional logs unless there's an 
exception thrown by the `jlink` tool, in which case it prints the exception 
stacktrace. So enabling this by default won't end up increasing the log output 
or flooding the logs.

With this change, I have run the 3 tests noted in those issues locally to make 
sure this doesn't break anything else. I have also verified manually that 
enabling this system property does indeed get propagated to the `JlinkTask` and 
checked the logs to see that the command line does pass it:

These tests get run in `tier2` and I have no way of running the entire `tier2` 
locally or relying of GitHub actions which only runs `tier1`. If this change 
looks OK and is approved, then I would like to request for help running the 
entire tests against this PR before merging it.
