jtreg -version reports bogus version

[Jonathan Gibbons]

Medi,

The version string is not contained within the jtreg source code. It is 
composed from values that are provided when jtreg is built, so if you 
are getting an unexpected string, you should check with wherever you got 
your jtreg bits.

There is no "official" jtreg 4.2.    All "official" versions at this 
point are of the form "jtreg 4.1 bNN"  where NN is a small 2-digit integer.

I doubt that OpenJDK 8 "requires" jtreg 4.2, since at least for us 
Oracle people, there is no such version.
