RFR(XXS): 8144629: runtime/thread/Fibonacci.java test should ran in othervm mode

[Dmitry Dmitriev]

David,

I think that this fix can be considered as workaround for jtreg bug. 
Running in othervm mode will give us exception with the reason rather 
than timeout error. Is it ok for you?

Thanks,
Dmitry
