RFR(S): 8204549: [aix][testbug] signal tests fail because vm can not start in primordial thread.

[Thomas Stüfe]

we have inhouse signal chaining tests running nightly, so we'd notice
regressions.

We should probably consolidate the tests, but there are more
interesting things to do, and working on AIX is like deep diving into
molasses.
