[11u] 8215913: [Test_bug]java/util/Locale/LocaleProvidersRun.java failed on de_DE and ja_JP locale.

Hi,

Please review this test stabilization patch. The issue doesn't actually
reproduce in 11u without this patch:

diff --git a/test/jdk/java/util/Locale/LocaleProviders.sh b/test/jdk/java/util/Locale/LocaleProviders.sh

 # (yuan) sign.

With it it does, since the test is actually called (and fails) with
de_DE locale. The patch didn't apply cleanly due to copyright hunk
fails (upper bound year is already at 2019) and LocaleProvidersRun.java
being LocaleProviders.sh in JDK 11u. It's one of the Oracle JDK 11
partity patches, if that helps gauge why I'm proposing this.
Personally, I wouldn't backport it, but I thought to get some feedback
whether we want this or not.
