Request for approval for CR 7105792 - Remove sun/security/pkcs11/Provider/Absolute.java from JPRT testing. No windows-x64 impl.

[Brad Wetmore]

Alan, thanks for the tip.  The test seemed to be properly excluded on my 
JPRT run.  I can send you the link if you want to see it.

     Excluding list contains 13 items
     Excluding: sun/security/pkcs11/Provider/Absolute.java
     ...deleted...

Anyway, digging a bit further, I'll be changing this code to remove the 
actual underlying problem in jdk8/jdk7u, and will remove the 
corresponding entry from ProblemList.txt in jdk8.

Thanks for your feedback.

Brad
