RFR(S/L): 8028537: PPC64: Updated the JDK regression tests to run on AIX

[Volker Simonis]

Hi Alan,

thanks for the suggestion. That's fine for me. I've copied the empty SCTP
stubs from the macosx to the aix directory as well and updated the make
file accordingly (in the patch for "8031581: PPC64: Addons and fixes for
AIX to pass the jdk regression tests").

Therefore, the changes to the three tests:

test/com/sun/nio/sctp/SctpChannel/Util.java
test/com/sun/nio/sctp/SctpMultiChannel/Util.java
test/com/sun/nio/sctp/SctpServerChannel/Util.java

can be considered obsolete.

Regards,
Volker
