RFR (S) 8232168: Fix non wide char canonicalization on Windows

[Schmelter, Ralf]

Hi David,

the canonicalize() method is never used by java.io or any Java code. Currently it is used by the hotspot in classloader.cpp (which I use in the test) and in libinstrument in InvocationAdapter.c. There is no way to test it in core-libs. One can argue if the canonicalize method is in the right file, but that should be a separate discussion. 

Best regards,
Ralf

Hi Ralf,

This isn't a hotspot issue but a core-libs one.

The use of a hotspot-runtime test seems more opportunistic than anything 
else - is it just for code coverage? I would expect to find a more 
appropriate test somewhere in core-libs.

Thanks,
David
