Fix request (13u) After JDK-8232080, I need to port the test fix, too. The patch applies cleanly.

Fix request (11u) This is a follow-up regression fix to JDK-8232080. As I'm planning to get this into jdk11u, I'll push this one right after it. Patch applies cleanly.

No longer fails in tier-1, verified.

Root cause: The changes to vmError.cpp in JDK-8232080 didn’t sufficiently guard against the vendor VM bug URL string being undefined. This isn’t a new crash; this test always provokes a crash. The test failed because the last line of the error log wasn’t the expected “END.” marker but, instead, a secondary report of the SEGV arising from the reference to the not-yet-defined URL string.
