That exclusion was due to potentially unprepared dependencies that are needed for testing: for example jcstress tests would fail with the default configuration. But CTW for JDK modules works well out of the box, so we can add it somewhere in high tier, for example tier3. It should be useful to catch compiler bugs early, before running `hotspot:all`.

This will duplicate testing for us in Oracle.
Please, add it directly to `tier3_compiler` group instead.
