    Description

      Investigating JFR crashes is a bit tedious, as Events section in hs_err shows just:

      ```
      Event: 3.006 Executing VM operation: JFRCheckpoint
      Event: 3.006 Executing VM operation: JFRCheckpoint done
      ```

      What is that JFRCheckpoint doing is unclear, because it can do two separate things: clear or write. It would be good if we could disambiguate the two. Since there are only two flavors of checkpoint, I think we can just split the VMOp into two more precisely named ones, so it gives us e.g.:

      ```
      Event: 2.462 Executing VM operation: JFRSafepointClear
      Event: 2.463 Executing VM operation: JFRSafepointClear done
      ```
