JDK-8144953 - runtime/CommandLine/TraceExceptionsTest.java fails when exception is thrown in compiled code
Description
The tracing output of TraceExceptions includes the exception message in some of its uses; 
it would be very useful if the output would include it always.

For example, when tracking down ClassNotFoundExceptions seeing the classname wold be useful.

Exception <a 'java/lang/ClassNotFoundException'> (0x00007fffe228e1a0)
 thrown in interpreter method <{method} {0x00007fff8aa18530} 'loadClass' '(Ljava/lang/String;Z)Ljava/lang/Class;' in 'java/lang/Cl>
 at bci 70 for thread 0x0000000000423800
Comments
Fix Request (8u) I would like to backport this to 8u for parity with Oracle 8u271. The original patch applies cleanly.

We can print the detail message in with the exception from the interpreter: how about: Exception <a 'java/lang/ClassNotFoundException': Queens> (0x00000000d7054d40) thrown in interpreter method <{method} {0x00007f31bb815410} 'run' '()Ljava/lang/Class;' in 'java/net/URLClassLoader$1'> at bci 72 for thread 0x00007f31d000b800 Exception <a 'java/lang/ClassNotFoundException': Queens> (0x00000000d7054d40) thrown in interpreter method <{method} {0x00007f31bb8154b0} 'run' '()Ljava/lang/Object;' in 'java/net/URLClassLoader$1'> at bci 1 for thread 0x00007f31d000b800 Exception <a 'java/security/PrivilegedActionException'> (0x00000000d7054f88) thrown [/scratch/cphillim/hg/rt.exception-message/src/share/vm/prims/jvm.cpp, line 1278] for thread 0x00007f31d000b800 Exception <a 'java/security/PrivilegedActionException': null> (0x00000000d7054f88) thrown in interpreter method <{method} {0x00007f31bb6cc3d0} 'doPrivileged' '(Ljava/security/PrivilegedExceptionAction;Ljava/secur> at bci 0 for thread 0x00007f31d000b800
