Good catch. I've added it to `jdk_security_infra`.

`VerifyCACerts.java` is part of `tier2` in JDK head by means of `jdk_security => jdk_security_3 => sun/security`. `jdk_security_infra` is not part of any group yet, which I assume has a reason. Probably, because those tests depend on what CAs do (external factors?). The situation in 8u is a bit different to later JDKs, IMO. It's more like GHA being the best option for the early heads-up in 8u as later tiers aren't being run publicly. I have no strong opinion about this, but I lack the relevant cycles in order to push this upstream at this point. Feel free to go ahead and propose it though.
