Description
The Djava.ext.dirs is no longer recognized and will cause JDK 9 to print an error and then exit when used. We use this option for some of our unit tests (e.g., the launcher tests). We should fix the utility launcher method and build.gradle to not use this option.

This cleans up all uses of java.ext.dirs (including the now-useless "-Djava.ext.dirs=" settings in build.gradle, etc). http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~kcr/8150307/webrev.00/
