(re-sending to include jigsaw-dev)

Hi,

Please review fixes for 8158272 and 8158468. The test had several problems.

- A child process doesn't inherit IO. Any outputs from the child process 
are not logged.
- The exit code of a child process is ignored. The exit code needs to be 
checked by the test.
- A child process should use the exit code to report errors rather than 
throwing a RuntimeException.
- The golden data doesn't match the CLDR V29.
- It may not be a good idea to hard-code the full set of the available 
locales.

All have been fixed. Additional changes are:

- Removed -verbose:gc from @run
- Changed String to List<String> for the available locales data. It was 
hard to compare long strings.
- Changed output of the test so that it's easier to understand test 
activities.
- Replaced Locale.ROOT.toString() with "(root)"

As for the timeout issue, what happened is that a child process for 
checking available locales threw a RuntimeException due to the CLDR V29 
changes. But the parent process (the main test process) was waiting for 
the child process to terminate. I'm not sure if it's a Windows specific 
process management issue or jtreg specific issue or something else. But 
the timeout symptom is no longer reproducible with the change to call 
ProcessBuilder.inheritIO().

While I was working on these test problems, I noticed there are a few 
problems in the include locales plugin per se. For example, 
--include-locales=*-IN selects en-001 which is missing in the available 
locales list. (The missing "en-001" has been added to the test data, but 
it's commented out.) I will be filing a separate JBS issue.

Thanks,
Masayoshi
