JDK-8134349 - Disable JFX some JFX tests that use System.gc()
Description
I got the following failure one time, but have not seen it since. It seems like the test might be fragile, since it relies on a single call to gc() to reclaim weak references. In case the stack trace might be helpful, here it is:

Comments
Here is one: base/src/test/java/javafx/beans/property/PropertyBaseTest.java test*AfterGC()

There are many tests in base and graphics component that somewhat rely on System.gc(). I think we'd need to rewrite them all, e.g. do them multiple times and mark them as failed only if they failed every time or use some similar approach.
