This commit allows the user to specify options in a subset using
square brackets as opposed to normal brackets which is the norm.
E.g.: -Xjit:{methodRegex}[options-to-use]
Normal (round) brackets will continue to work as before.

To specify options in a subset (that apply only to some methods) you use the following format:
-Xjit:{methodRegex}(options_in_subset)On Linux this runs into the following error caused by the shell:
Possible workarounds are:
\(\)However, when testing uses multiple levels of perl/python/shell scripts it becomes difficult to reason about what workarounds work.
This issue proposes the usage of square brackets for specifying options_in_subset, in addition to the round brackets. Thus, both
-Xjit:{methodRegex}(options_in_subset)and
-Xjit:{methodRegex}[options_in_subset]should be valid.
