To improve maintainability, this change splits up the single test file into separate test files focused on specific areas (ex: _j.text.Format_).  The original _LocaleProvidersRun_ test file remains and is used for more general Locale Provider testing such as the adapter loading.

With this change, these tests files can be ran with VM flags and not cause timeout, thus `@requires vm.flagless` is no longer needed (Tiers 6-8 tested).

Still looks good. Please modify the copyright year for `HostLocaleProviderAdapter_md.c` file before integrating
