RFR 8214794 : java.specification.version should be only the major version number

[Roger Riggs]

Hi Mandy, Martin,

The new test is unnecessary, the case is covered by 
java/lang/System/Versions test
and uses the stronger comparison for the version numbers.

It would not detect the problem unless the version included more than 
the major version.

Thanks, Roger
