When running tests on Windows in a distributed environment we currently
don't have access to debug symbols, which causes stack traces in hs_err
files to be useless. When running local tests this works because the
product under test was built on the same machine and the debug symbols
are still available there. For this to work in distributed testing, we
need to both provide the symbols bundle as well as setting up the
_NT_SYMBOL_PATH environment variable to point to the correct
directories. This patch does just that for both the old and new test
makefiles. I have verified by running a modified jtreg test in Mach5
that crashes hotspot and verified that the stack trace contains symbols.
