RFR for JDK-8030844:sun/rmi/rmic/classpath/RMICClassPathTest.java timeout in same binaries run

[Stuart Marks]

Hi, yes, I'll take this one.

It's slightly odd that this is creating filenames that already have "/" in them 
(as opposed to File.separator) but since these files don't actually have to 
exist, I suppose it doesn't really matter.

I'm not convinced that we actually have any evidence that /home/~user is really 
causing the hang/timeout (either caused by the automounter hanging on /home or 
LDAP or other nameservice lookup on ~user), but this is harmless, and it'll fix 
the problem on the off chance that this really is the root cause.

Tristan, please update the test's @bug tag to add 8030844, create a changeset, 
and create a webrev with the changeset in it (as opposed to a bare patch). I'll 
then push it for you.
