RFR: 7902847: Class directory of a test case should be always used to compile a library

[Jonathan Gibbons]

It would be a worthwhile audit to examine test class directories after a 
test run to see whether any library clases have leaked into those 
directories.

A different approach would be to compile test classes with 
`-implicit:none` to ensure library classes do not leak into test class 
directories.
