[9] request for review: 8048147: Privilege tests with JAAS Subject.doAs

[Artem Smotrakov]

Hi Max,

I agree that sometimes use of a shell script makes a test clearer. On 
the other hand, if we are trying to create pure Java tests, it increases 
overall coverage of Java APIs.

I updated the tests to use ProcessTools, and simplified a little bit 
policy files for negative tests to make them clearer. Please take a look:
