RFR(M): 8175300 - Enable artifact resolution for jtreg tests

[Christian Tornqvist]

Hi everyone,

 

Please review this change that adds the ability to have external
dependencies in jtreg tests. As a proof of concept, I've added Scimark to
the Hotspot repository. The concept is this, annotate the test with one or
more @Artifact annotation describing the external dependencies, these can
then either be resolved manually (using -Djdk.test.lib.artifacts.<name>) or
automatically using a custom ArtifactManager.

 

The make changes were contributed by Erik Joelsson.

These changes have been verified by running the Scimark test locally (using
make) and in JPRT.
