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

[Hamlin Li]

Hi Naoto,

Thank you for comments.

By searching I found out others have the similar issues when trying to 
replace LC_ALL with file.encoding/sun.jnu.encoding, they're accessing 
file names. That means LC_ALL is IMPORTANT. So I think it's better for 
me to keep the shell test for now.

Thank you
