[OpenJDK 2D-Dev] RFR [XS] : 8233202: exclude javax/swing/plaf/basic/BasicGraphicsUtils/8132119/bug8132119.java

[Prasanta Sadhukhan]

This test tests the newly added public API of BasicGraphicsUtils 
(exposing the functionality provided by internal class SwingUtilities2) 
for use by third party LAFs in JDK9 and beyond, so I guess we cannot 
ditch it completely. Regarding the test fragility, I actually 
incorporated the changes proposed by Phil, which are

- add "x"  to the position it passes to checkImageContainsSymbol

- increase WIDTH

- use rendering hints to use aliased text in testDrawString()

which makes the test pass in linux but it now creates problem in macos. 
We can work on it but probably, it is safe to problem list the test for 
linux for now.

Regards
Prasanta
