RFR(S): JDK-8044364: runtime/RedefineFinalizer test fails on windows

[Dmitry Samersoff]

Christian,

I'm fine with either version of this test so you can take ownership of
this CR.

1. My jtreg can't find RedefineClassHelper.java in /testlibrary so I had
to copy it to test/runtime/RedefineFinalizer first.

2. It's better to use sun.tools.jar then launch a separate process.
