Subject: [8u] backport 8068013: [TESTBUG] Aix support in hotspot jtreg tests

Hi,

I would like to backport this change.
It basically makes the jtreg test infrastructure aware of aix.  This fixes a lot of
the jtreg tests.

The change from 9 applied cleanly with some obvious exceptions:
- The copyright adaption didn't merge in
    * test/runtime/6888954/vmerrors.sh
    * test/test_env.sh
    * test/testlibrary/com/oracle/java/testlibrary/Platform.java
- Changes in files not available in 8:
   * test/serviceability/dcmd/DynLibDcmdTest.java: Test does not
   * test/testlibrary_tests/TestMutuallyExclusivePlatformPredicates.java

The webrev applying to 8:
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~goetz/webrevs/8068013-jtregAix/webrev.02-jdk8/
The original webrev
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~goetz/webrevs/8068013-jtregAix/webrev-02/
The incremental patch:

I please need a sponsor.

Best regards,
  Goetz.
