[jdk8u-dev] RFR: 8295164: JDK8 jdi tests should not use tasklist command on Windows [v2]

[zzambers]

> Shell jdi tests are currently failing on windows. These tests are part of jdk_tier1.
> 
> **Problem:**
> Tests fail because ShellScaffold.sh uses (native) tasklist command to check if process with given PID is alive. However this no longer works, since PIDs by Cygwin/Msys2 are no longer same as native Windows PIDs [1][2].
> 
> **Solution:**
> Fixed by switching to ps command. Original comment says tasklist was used due to ps sometimes missing some processes. This could be because ps, by default, only shows cygwin processes. I added -W argument to also show native windows processes [3] and I have seen no problems. Fix is targeted for JDK8, since newer JDKs migrated to java based tests (in several steps [4][5][6][7]...), but i think backporting all of that work, just to fix this issue would be overkill. (However nothing prevents anyone from doing so in the future, if desired.)
> 
> **Testing:**
> With this fix jdk_tier1 passes for me on Windows.
