JDK-8100859 - Mac: Stage.setTitle has no effect on Mac application name
Description
Implement app name using bundle info and -Xdock:name VM parameter

Also provide better impl for  -Xdock:icon since we'll be using the bundle info, which is all in the same code.

Comments
The supported mechanism on Mac for setting Mac icon/name is through bundle as any other native apps. -Xdock:name mechanism has security implications, which is being covered by RT-18693

The -Xdock:icon does work as expected. However, the -Xdock:name doesn't seem to work. Gererad: please verify this and Close the issue if it's implemented as it's supposed to be.

With a Bundle for app on Mac looking like: Application1.app Info.plist MacOS Application2 Resources MainMenu.nib and the Info.plist containing the following app name related keys: CFBundleExecutable [value: "Application2"] CFBundleIdentifier [value: "com.oracle.Application3"] CFBundleName [value: "Application4"] NSMainNibFile [value: "MainMenu"] We get a double clickable .app that shows: in Finder as "Application1.app" in Dock as "Application1" in Menubar as "Application4" And the app name as seen by APIs: [[NSProcessInfo processInfo] processName] returns "Application2" getprogname() returns "Application2"
