(10) RFR of JDK-8181912,Refactor locale related shell test test/java/io/File/MacPathTest.sh to java test

[Naoto Sato]

Hi Hamlin,

What I meant was that setting the java locale either through 
Locale.setDefault() or user.language/user.country properties won't 
affect the default encoding determination. Other properties 
(file.encoding/sun.jnu.encoding) would set the default, but I am not 
sure how they are supposed to be used in regression tests.
