RFR: 8004651 - TEST: java/util/logging/CheckLockLocationTest.java failed to delete file (win)

Hi Jim,

Catching IOException from delete() is a bit odd. The only thing in the delete() 
method that throws an IOE is the explicit throw of FileNotFoundException... so 
in that case we'd throw FNFE and then catch the IOE at the caller and print a 
warning. Would it be better to just print a warning from within the delete() 
method, and remove "throws IOException" ? There's only one other caller to 
delete() and it seems indifferent to this change.

Now that we're no longer checking the message of FileSystemException, it's 
possible to change the instanceof check into a separate catch-clause of 
FileSystemException, which simply ignores that exception. The catch clause for 
IOException can be simplified to unconditionally wrap the IOE in a 
RuntimeException and rethrow it. Actually it's not clear to me that's even 
necessary since runTests() is declared to throw IOException, so we might not 
even need to catch IOE here at all; we can just let it propagate to the caller.

Looks like similar simplifications apply to tests 2 and 4 as well.
