I was thinking what would happen for the first time we upgrade jspawnhelper 
like this. There would be no helpful message then, the `jspawnhelper` would 
just exit on argument count check. So I suggest we polish the failure messages 
a bit: always report version at `shutItDown`, and report more verbose failure 
messages too.

See: 
[jspawnhelper-messages-1.patch](https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/files/14586196/jspawnhelper-messages-1.patch)

Older JDK invoking new jspawnhelper would then fail like:


% build/macosx-aarch64-server-fastdebug/images/jdk/lib/jspawnhelper 1:1:1
Incorrect number of arguments: 2
jspawnhelper version 23-internal-adhoc.shipilev.shipilev-jdk
This command is not for general use and should only be run as the result of a 
call to
ProcessBuilder.start() or Runtime.exec() in a java application
