RFR(XS): 8185112: [TESTBUG] Servicability tests cannot parse float if non US locale.

[Lindenmaier, Goetz]

Hi Volker, 

thanks for looking at this change!

This class is a helper class for testing jstat. To my
knowledge jstat never formats integers, so the 
current parsing should cover all possible outputs
to be tested. 

Best regards,
  Goetz.
