Support for building jtreg on FreeBSD

[Jaikiran Pai]

Hello Harald,

I haven't checked the patches you listed but contributions to the 
project are welcome. This page 
https://openjdk.org/projects/code-tools/jtreg/ might help you get 
started and this one for OpenJDK contributions in general 
https://openjdk.org/guide/#contributing-to-an-openjdk-project.

I would recommend that you raise individual fixes/changes as separate 
PRs. That way it will be easier to review. Once you initiate the first 
PR, the skara bot will guide you through the OCA process 
(https://openjdk.org/guide/#i-have-a-patch-what-do-i-do) and once the 
OCA is signed we should be able to review those changes.
