RFR: 8036863: Update jdk7 testlibrary to match jdk8 in hotspot

[Mattis Castegren]

This is becoming URGENT as we have other high priority cases pending the backport of these test libraries.

We could backport these fixes without the tests and then file a separate bug to backport the tests, but it would be great if we could just get a review of this, as it is a pretty straight forward backport

Kind Regards
/Mattis

Hi

Could we have someone review this change. This is just a backport from JDK8, but there were some small changes so we want to get a proper review here.

We have several other backports waiting for this change (fixes using the new test libraries), so it would be good to get this going.

Kind Regards
/Mattis

Please review this change to update hotspot part of testlibrary in jdk7.

It updates testlibrary with new apis from jdk8's testlibrary.

Every test in open part of hotspot that uses testlibrary and was working 
fine before update still works after update.

Thanks, Vladimir.
