RFR(XS) : 8177708 : Convert TestReserveMemorySpecial_test to Gtest

[Igor Ignatyev]

Hi Gerard,

#1. As I mentioned earlier and you can see from your grep results, this test is still called WhiteBox::runMemoryUnitTests which is used in runtime/memory/RunUnitTestsConcurrently to run this and a few other tests multiple times in several concurrent threads. runtime/memory/RunUnitTestsConcurrently will be converted to gtest separately, and this conversion will also include removing of all these tests.

#2. only linux and windows version of TestReserveMemorySpecial_test aren't trivial, the rest are just empty.

#3. semantically linux gtest is doing the same as TestReserveMemorySpecial in  open/src/hotspot/os/linux/os_linux.cpp, and windows gtest --  open/src/hotspot/os/linux/os_windows.cpp. yes, there are some differences caused by difference in "frameworks" and/or aimed to improve the tests, e.g. changes in how tests are split, error/trace message are printed, etc.

Thanks,
-- Igor
