hg: code-tools/jtreg: 7900248: Enhance jtreg to copy/restore the Security Providers when running in agentvm or samevm mode.

[Bradford Wetmore]

Roger,

Jon is correct, we had several options for test stabilization, including 
fixing several dozen tests that were written a decade before -agentvm 
came into being.  See the bug and this external link for more details:

 
http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/security-dev/2013-November/009701.html

We could certainly request such a switch and "clean" those tests, but 
with this new JPRT switch for -agentvm, it no longer seems necessary 
esp. given limited cycles.
