During hotspot gensrc, we create two files, jvmtiEnvStub and

cc'd Dan: Need someone who knows to chime in with what these files are
and why they exist. The stub is like a dummy implementation that may
have been useful for testing against. No idea what the "recommended"
file may represent. ??
I have built hotspot with and without this patch, and used the build
comparison script (compare.sh) to verify that it has not changed.

Change itself seems fine. Not sure if jvmtiEnv.xsl is now a dead file
that can be removed (if so we'll file a hotspot bug for that).
Thanks,
