forgot to edit after copy&paste, fixed

I've split test into separate files.

They're copied to the run directory by 'ClassFileInstaller', see 
jtreg-script in 'JarsTest'/'JarDirTest'

Classes from 'classes.lst' will be loaded by default classloader. I have 
added a description of that behavior into 'README' (lines 56-57) and 
Foo, Bar into 'classes.lst'.

All related to compilation logics were moved to 's.h.t.ctw.Compiler'

I modified 'JDKToolFinder.getJDKTool()' to use 'compile.jdk' property 
(which is used on embedded systems as a path to full jdk) and added 
'JDKToolFinder.getCurrentJDKTool()' to retain behavior of 
'gc/TestVerifyDuringStartup' test.

Also I added try-catch blocks to support profiles which doesn't contain 
'j.l.management' package.

Additionally tested: runtime/NMT, runtime/RedefineObject, 
gc/TestVerifyDuringStartup, gc/TestG1ZeroPGCTJcmdThreadPrint
