<Sound Dev> JDK 9 RFR of JDK-8134554: Add sound tests to tier 3

[joe darcy]

Hi Sergey,

The general tiered testing policy is described in:

http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/jdk9-dev/2015-March/001991.html

with tier 3 specifically discussed in

http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/jdk9-dev/2015-June/002325.html

Quoting from the latter:

As a point of comparison, the automated beans and imageio tests are 
already in tier 3.

Thanks,
