RFR(S): 8215975: [testbug] Adapt nsk tests to the PPC, S390 and AIX platforms.

[gary.adams at oracle.com]

Would it make sense to add a method to test/lib/jdk/test/lib/Platform.java
similar to sharedLibraryExt() to cover the envName setting?

Are the other places DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH is set also need to be
updated for AIX?
