RFR: 8316461: Fix: make test outputs TEST SUCCESS after unsuccessful exit

`make test` outputs `TEST SUCCESS` after unsuccessful exit of JVM. One example is bad VM flags.

I now have a reproducer for something that has puzzled me before (and most of my co-workers I think):

// first test uses -XX:+UseG1GC second and third uses -XX:+UseG1GCC (sic)
`make clean run-test TEST=open/test/hotspot/jtreg/gc/arguments/TestCompressedClassFlags.java JTREG='JAVA_OPTIONS=-XX:+UseG1GC'` -> OK
`make run-test TEST=open/test/hotspot/jtreg/gc/arguments/TestCompressedClassFlags.java JTREG='JAVA_OPTIONS=-XX:+UseG1GCC'` -> OK
`rm -rf test-results/jtreg_open_test_hotspot_jtreg_gc_arguments_TestCompressedClassFlags_java`
`make run-test TEST=open/test/hotspot/jtreg/gc/arguments/TestCompressedClassFlags.java JTREG='JAVA_OPTIONS=-XX:+UseG1GCC'` -> FAIL

The problem is that the success of the first test run seems to be cached and the second test-run seems to reuse the result of the first run.

This seems to fix the problem:

``` 
I have started tier 1-5 testing, but they are not completed yet. I would also like to know if this change cooperates nicely with RETRY_COUNT and REPEAT_COUNT. To me, it seems they both should be able to be more or less stateless, i.e. they ought to be able to quit on failure or success without a mutating directory, but It would be good if I could get that confirmed (because I have a hard time understanding the make files).
