<AWT Dev> RFR: JDK-8194327 [macos] AWT windows have incorrect main/key window behaviors

[Sergey Bylokhov]

Hi, Alan.
I just found a few side effects in the test.
  - All other tests(actually all java applications) which are executed 
after the new test will show colorPanel(until it will not be closed 
manually).
  - If the Finder will be opened in full screen(or in the location where 
the test will show the test windows) then the test will fail. Maybe it 
is better to use some other application to deactivate the test? Can we 
implement it using other java application?(you can run the same 
TestMainKeyWindow.main() and pass some flag to it)
