The test class, `test.Empty` should be loaded by a custom class loader and then subsequently unloaded, however this is not actually occurring due to the sub-process not receiving the class path. This patch modifies `ClassUnloadCommon`, so it may accept a string containing the classlist, and `ClassLoadUnloadTest.java` so it checks specifically for `test.Empty` to be unloaded. Verified with tier1-5 tests.

Also seems to me that `./runtime/logging/LoaderConstraintsTest.java` has the same kind of problem even though it is not failing - which suggests the test is flawed in some other way.
