Description
Refactoring the test java/util/Locale/LocaleProviders.sh to java/util/Locale/LocaleProvidersRun.java with JDK-8210403 missed taking over to enable Java level assertions for its subtests.
However, since the implementation of sun/util/locale/provider makes use of assertions, it should definitely be enabled to catch errors and regressions during testing.

In fact, JDK-8218960 has introduced an issue for Windows that was not uncovered by jtreg testing.
Comments
Fix request (11u) Requesting backport of this item after JDK-8210403 was backported. Without this test fix, assertion errors can be shadowed. Risk is very low.
