new hotspot build system

[Mike Burton]

As per email from Magnus we have been trying new hotspot build system at LJC HackTheTower today and got a strange issue:

make test TEST="jdk_lang" fails at test/sun/reflect/constantPool/ConstantPoolTestDummy.jasm
with error:  Error. can't find jasm

The error report shows the detail of failed command:
/home/openjdk/dev/build-infra-jdk9/build/linux-x86_64-normal-server-release/images/jdk/bin/java \\
    -classpath /home/openjdk/dev/jtreg/lib/asmtools.jar \\
    org.openjdk.asmtools.jasm.Main -d /home/openjdk/dev/build-infra-jdk9/build/linux-x86_64-normal-server-release/testoutput/jdk_lang/JTwork/classes/0/sun/reflect/constantPool /home/openjdk/dev/build-infra-jdk9/jdk/test/sun/reflect/constantPool/ConstantPoolTestDummy.jasm

Also pasting the above into command line failed.

Building asmtools and copying asmtools.jar to ~/dev/jtreg (where the script is trying to find it) makes the pasted command work.

But   make test TEST="jdk_lang" fails again in the same way
