RFR(S): 8081037: serviceability/sa/ tests time out on Windows

[Yekaterina Kantserova]

Hi,

due to https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8081381 I wasn't able to 
push this fix. The problem is LingeredApp.java contains JDK 9 feature 
java.lang.Process.getPid() but the test library is compiled with JDK 8 
today. This issue is not trivial to solve so I suggest a temporary fix 
to test/lib/Makefile.

Thanks,
Katja
