Please review this test-only change that improves the execution speed of a few FileChannel tests:
- Transfer2GPlus, Transfer4GBFile, and TransferTo6GBFile were modified to use sparse files. Their speed is now consistent across platforms, provided that the platform / filesystem supports sparse files.
- LargeMapTest was rewritten to use sparse files, and to more precisely target the issue it was written to detect. In my tests it still crashed with EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION when JDK-8286637 was reverted.
- MapTest: repetition was removed from `testForce` method; I'm not sure what issues it was supposed to catch, but at far as I can tell, it was only triggering timeouts, see [JDK-8289526](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8289526), [JDK-8224480](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8224480)
