[9] RFR: JDK-8164322: sun/security/pkcs11/PKCS11Test.java shall be updated to run on ARM platforms

[Artem Smotrakov]

(cc'ing Denis who reported the bug)

I think making PKCS11 tests fail on unexpected platform would be helpful 
for people who port JDK on new platforms and run tests on them. 
Currently the tests silently quit which looks like they pass. This makes 
people think that everything went smoothly, but actually nothing was tested.

I would prefer to update PKCS11Test to report a failure in case of 
unexpected platform.

But before that it would be good to make sure that PKCS11 tests work 
fine on those generic platforms which are listed in "osMap".

Tim,

Did you run PKCS11 tests on those platforms? (it might be good to submit 
multiple runs).

One minor comment, could you please check that indentation is correct in 
lines 625-629?
