Hi,

Please review this cleanup. It touches a lot of files, but the changes are
simple and were done by a script (see bug report).

https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8209946
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~iklam/jdk12/8209946-cds-test-use-run-driver.v01/

Most CDS tests are currently using "@run main" to run the main class.
However, the main class is usually just a "script" that prepares JAR 
files and
launches child JVM processes that do the real testing (create or use CDS
archives). Usually, the main class itself is not the subject of the test.

According to http://openjdk.java.net/jtreg/faq.html, we should use "@run 
driver".

I am validating the changes with hs-tier{1,2,3} tests.

Thanks
- Ioi
