Description
We have a number of useful metaspace verifications, but most of them are switched off even in debug builds since they take too much time (see e.g. JDK-8199518). 

Until now these switched were controlled by a static const bool. I'd like to make this bool switchable via a develop command line flag (whose default can be off to not disturb tests).
