RFR(S) : 8183337 : hotspot/compiler/aot tests fail due to missed tools

[Vladimir Kozlov]

This is ugly. Embedding into tests versions of compilers we use. I see 
they are listed in common/conf/jib-profiles.js. Can we extract them from 
there or other place?

Such change may be okay for internal use but what about community?

And can you add a simple tests that artifacts resolver exist at all?

Thanks,
Vladimir
