Description
Split globals.hpp to factor out the Flag values needed by JDK-8059557

The work for JEP: JDK-8059557 required that Flag::Error enum is available to other files. Perhaps we can factor out those values out of globals.hpp, which contains a whole lot of other APIs, that the other files do not need.
