[9] RFR of JDK-8085192: java/rmi/activation/Activatable tests fail intermittently due to "Port already in use"

If Hamlin's approach is taken in the end, I think having a smaller retry 
count (5 or 10 rather than 20) would be more appropriate to avoid making 
the worst-case running time longer than necessary.

Cheers,
