<AWT Dev> jtreg failing in awt tests

[Jonathan Gibbons]

Actually, jtreg is (has always been) optimised to *run* tests 
efficiently, with no time tax.
But yes, there is a time tax, which comes from writing the report at the 
end of the test run, and that is actually where the clash is (probably) 
being detected.

And, my guess is that a developer running "jtreg MyTest.java" doesn't 
need/want/care about the report. If so, there are two ways to disable 
the report:

1. Options:  -noreport  (or -nr for short)
2. System property: javatest.noReportRequired
