RFR: 8015068 : (m) Use jtreg -exclude for problemlist.txt processing

[Mike Duigou]

Hello all;

With the imminent promotion of JTReg 4.1b07 it's possible to finally consider completing this changeset!

http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~mduigou/JDK-8015068/2/webrev/

This updated webrev includes handling of the shared library permissions.

Thanks,

Mike

This means the knowledge of which targets required shared_library_permissions has been lost. The shared_library_permissions target could be run unconditionally as part of prep but I am uncertain if this is reasonable. Alternatives?

Output will now be written to jdk/testoutput and this directory has been added to the .hgignore. Since most people are expected to use only the root repo make which sets ALT_OUTPUTDIR it is not expected that this change will make any difference for most users.
