`runtime/ClassInitErrors/TestStackOverflowDuringInit.java` seems to be fragile and affected by this PR, so I created [JDK-8334545](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8334545) and listed the test in `test/hotspot/jtreg/ProblemList.txt`

@mlchung @cl4es @liach @ExE-Boss  many thanks for significant contribution to this complex conversion!

Any final thoughts or objections to the integration?

Thank you!
