RFR: 8026047: [TESTBUG] add regression test for DisableExplicitGC flag

[Michail Chernov]

Hi Bengt,

Test works with all options passed to jtreg during testing ( see line 
97         vmOpts.addAll(0, Utils.getVmOptions());). Doesn't need to 
check all GC's, it will be done during nightly.

44     public final static String[] PARALLEL_GC_OPTIONS = 
{"UseParallelGC", "UseParallelOldGC"};
Here is defined special options. If define one of these options - will 
be used other pattern to match output.

But it seems to me a little bit wrong. I've checked output of GC log 
with different GCs and ExplicitGCInvokesConcurrent. Message "Full GC 
(System.gc())" does not appear only in case of using G1 or CMS with 
ExplicitGCInvokesConcurrent=true. Will fix it.

Thanks,
Michail
