   relax flag attributions (ala JDK-7123237)

src/hotspot/share/runtime/flags/debug_globals.hpp line 38:

36: // have any MANAGEABLE flags of the ccstr type, but we really need to
37: // make sure the implementation is correct (in terms of memory allocation)
38: // just in case someone may add such a flag in the future.

Could you have just added a develop flag to the manageable flags instead?

I had to use a `product` flag due to the following code, which should have been 
removed as part of 
[JDK-8243208](https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8243208), but I was 
afraid to do so because I didn't have a test case. I.e., all of our 
diagnostic/manageable/experimental flags were `product` flags.

With this PR, now I have a test case -- I changed `DummyManageableStringFlag` 
to a `notproduct` flag, and removed the following code. I am re-running 
tiers1-4 now.

Sorry but I don't understand how a test involving one flag replaces a chunk of code that validated every flag declaration ??
