RFR: 8004926 sun/management/jmxremote/bootstrap/CustomLauncherTest.sh oftenly times out

Hi Jaroslav,

You need a copyright notice in the new file.

As written this test can only run on a full JDK - so please add it to 
the :needs_jdk group in TEST.groups. (Does jcmd really needs to come 
from the test-jdk? And use the VMOPTS passed to the test?)

Is there a reason this test can't run on OSX? I know it would need 
further modification but was wondering if there is something inherent in 
the test that makes it inapplicable to OSX.

I think the test would be a lot simpler if the jdk tests had the hotspot 
test library's process tools available. :(
