So these new arraycopy tests should probably go to `hotspot_slow_compiler` group, along with other `stress` tests. This would hook arraycopy tests into `hotspot:tier3` automatically if #6622 lands. Tell me if you still want a completely separate test group, or `hotspot_slow_compiler` is enough for current Oracle testing infra.

Please,  create separate test group and add it to `hotspot_slow_compiler`. We would not need to change infra settings if more testing is added to this new group later.
