Bug: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8149427

webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~dholmes/8149427/webrev/

JDK-6900757 added the following to .hgignore:

+\.class$

but it is unclear why this was done. This setting can cause problems 
when jtreg testing leaves class files in unexpected places, and -stree 
JPRT submissions then fail testing in strange ways. "hg status" doesn't 
show these errant files because of the entry in .hgignore.

I propose to remove the entry from the .hgignore file.

Thanks,
David
