We are using stream test framework on this to verify all style of stream
works, with that we will need to have library on bootclasspath, and that
current prevent us from put it in test/java/util/regex because of jtreg
limitation.

If no object, I'll push this at its current location. We can revisit
this when jtreg support is available.

The other alternative is that we refactor the test to test only split,
and leave out the various style of stream checking. While we lose the
sanity check, but I don't think we lose much as the form of iterator
converted into stream and operated should have been covered in other
stream tests.

Let me know if we think it's important enough to refactor the test.

Cheers,
Henry
