Review request 7157734 testcase corrections (use TESTVMOPTS).

[Gary Collins]

Not only do the shell need to pass this so does the @run line in java files. I've not added this but would assume we should. 

Maybe someone in quality can confirm the proper flags to put in each script and java file to allow all tests to be used.

They therefore don't set -d64 when we want to test a 64-bit JVM and on Solaris at least this means we don't test what we think we're testing.  We actually run a 32-bit JVM, and likely not even the one we just built to test.

It seems best to get rid of this practice.  I have asked around and found nobody who can say that technique is still in use.
