Hi all,

this small patch changes FindTest.gmk to only include TEST.ROOT files 
that actually are present. The motivation for this change is that both 
Git and Mercurial supports so called "sparse" checkouts [0][1] (still 
somewhat experimental for both, but actively worked on). While 
experimenting with these features I noticed that FindTests.gmk demands 
that test/{jtreg,jdk,langtools,nashorn,jaxp}/TEST.ROOT are present even 
if you are only trying to run e.g. `make hotspot`. This small patch 
ensures that we only include TEST.ROOT files that actually exist on disk.

Testing:
- Tier 1,2,3 on Linux, macOS, Windows (all x64)

Thanks,
Erik

PS. For the curious, I did manage to create a minimal working directory 
for hotspot using git version 2.25 (with this patch applied):

$ git clone https://github.com/openjdk/jdk --no-checkout
$ cd jdk
$ git sparse-checkout init --cone
$ git sparse-checkout set make src/java.base src/hotspot
$ curl https://cr.openjdk.java.net/~ehelin/8237566/00/JDK-8237566.patch 
| git apply
$ bash configure
$ make hotspot
