This PR is a fix for [JDK-8232824](https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8232824)
This issue is regression of [JDK-8187074](https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8187074).

Issue.
- `Parent.viewOrderChildren` is a list of children sorted according to view order.
- `Parent.viewOrderChildren` is cleared and computed in `Parent.computeViewOrderChildren()` which is called from `Parent.doUpdatePeer()` when a `pulse `is received.

- Below is the scenario mentioned in this issue,
1. `TabPane` is created with few `tabs`.
2. For each tab,  a `TabHeaderSkin` is created with `setViewOrder(1)` and is added to `TabHeaderArea.headersRegion`
3. All these `TabHeaderSkin`s are added to `Parent.viewOrderChildren` on `pulse`.
4. When the `TabPane` is removed from scene, then on the next pulse the method `Parent.doUpdatePeer()` does not get called for `TabHeaderArea.headersRegion`, because it is not part for scenegraph anymore.
So `Parent.computeViewOrderChildren()` does not get called and the `Parent.viewOrderChildren` does not get cleared, which causes the leak.

Fix:
Clear the `Parent.viewOrderChildren` list when marking `DirtyBits.PARENT_CHILDREN_VIEW_ORDER` as dirty.
`Parent.viewOrderChildren` will be computed on next `pulse`.
This will maintain lazy computation of `Parent.viewOrderChildren`. 

Added a system test, fails without fix and passes with. No failures in existing tests.
