Bug#863337: visualvm: Typos in launcher script - does not start anymore

Package: visualvm
Version: 1.3.9-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

visualvm does not start anymore with the error:
Unknown option -L-XX:PermSize=32m

This is caused by a trivial typo in the start script, which supposedly
should use -J (like "Java options") instead of -L (two locations):

visualvm_default_options="-L-XX:PermSize=32m ${visualvm_default_options}"

should likely be

visualvm_default_options="-J-XX:PermSize=32m ${visualvm_default_options}"

In particular, note that the if statement reads 'if grep -v -- 
"-J-XX:MaxPermSize"'
