RFR(S) : 8252477 : nsk/share/ArgumentParser should expect that jtreg "splits" an argument

[David Holmes]

Hi Igor,

In case there may be a parsing error and the command-line is ill-formed, 
should you abort if you reach the end of the arg list without finding an 
even number of double-quotes? Or will parseArguments already handle that?

Otherwise the changes seem good.

Thanks,
David
