RFR: JDK-8149777: Enable enhanced failure handler for "make test"

[Erik Joelsson]

The failure_handler is a jtreg extension that we build and put in the 
test image. It's then used when running our product tests. As a stand 
alone product, it has its own set of tests. The old makefile had a 
target for running those so I felt I needed to keep that functionality. 
I agree the make target can be confusing, but I couldn't find a better one.

It seems a bit odd, since most other tests has their main purpose to be run, and the build part is just a necessary thing, but here I presume that the main thing is to build the handler so other tests can use it, and it is not clear what the test itself mean. Otoh, I can't see any other way to express this.
