RFR(S): 7198849: Make javax/management/remote/mandatory/notif/ListenerScaleTest.java less timing sensitive

[Staffan Larsen]

The test sometimes fails with a ratio somewhere in the low 100s. If the timing was indeed linear in the number of listeners, the ratio would be 20000. Increasing the allowed ration to 500 (from 100) should therefore still catch the real regression, but make the test more robust.

Thanks,
