RFR: JDK-8191933 Use failure handler in run-test

[Martin Buchholz]

jtreg is already hard to build.  I see my own build script
defining JDK17HOME JDK18HOME JDK19HOME.

Optionally using features when a jdk is sufficiently up to date is
annoyingly difficult, but that's what java programmers everywhere do,
typically using reflection.
