JDK-8003228 - (props) sun.jnu.encoding should be set to UTF-8 [macosx]
Description
MacJNUEncoding.sh runs the 8003228 regtest for both LANG=C and LANG=en_US.UTF-8 by setting the LANG env variable.

The problem is that in environments where LC_ALL is set, this variable takes precedence, and just setting LANG is insufficient: the test script expects behavior for en_US.UTF-8, but test is run in the 'C' locale.

MacJNUEncoding.sh needs to updated to account for LC_ALL being set.

Having MacJNUEncoding.sh set LC_ALL along with LANG works well to fix this. Also, the push of 8003228 used a slightly out-of-date webrev (http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~bchristi/8003228/webrev.01/ instead of http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~bchristi/8003228/webrev.02/ ), so those changes need to be pushed as well. Notably, the test will be moved from test/java/util/Propeties/ to test/java/lang/System/ (per the email thread: http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/core-libs-dev/2012-December/013184.html )
