This PR deals with some housekeeping relating to compiler unit tests.

JDK-8163229 points out that there are several tests that have a `public static void main(String[])` method, but because the test expects to fail during compilation, the test is never actually run, and so these `main` methods are just clutter that can be removed.

However, there are also some tests where the test is never run, but the `main()` method generates one or more of the expected compilation errors. Obviously we need to keep those, but they don't need to be declared as `public static void main(String[])` which is misleading. So instead we rename these methods to `meth()`, and also we remove the `String[]` parameter when it's not needed by the test.
