JDK-7200092 - Make NMT a bit friendlier to work with
Description
Before 7200092 the JVM accepted the option Off for -XX:NativeMemoryTracking, now it reports:

Error occurred during initialization of VM
Unknown option given to XX:NativeMemoryTracking: off

This change was probably not intentional, the question is if we the Off option is something that we should support. Since NMT is off by default at the moment it really doesn't add any value though.

ILW = LLL -> P5
