RFR(L) : 8202812 : [TESTBUG] Open source VM testbase compiler tests

[Vladimir Kozlov]

Looks good to me.

I don't understand how these tests trigger JIT compilation? main() does 
not have any loops.

Where is GoldChecker class?

What --java flag mean in @run command?

Thanks,
Vladimir

Originally, these tests were run by a test harness different from jtreg and had different build and execution schemes, some parts couldn't be easily translated to jtreg, so tests might have actions or pieces of code which look weird. In a long term, we are planning to rework them.
