JDK-8211977 - move testlibrary tests into one place
Description
For the tests in the open/test/hotspot/jtreg/testlibrary_tests directory, only testlibrary_tests/TestMutuallyExclusivePlatformPredicates.java is included in hotspot_tier1_runtime in open/test/hotspot/jtreg/TEST.groups. All other tests are missing, so they are not tested in nightly tests.

Looks like TEST.groups and/or task definitions need to be updated.
Comments
as of today, open/test/hotspot/jtreg/testlibrary_tests are part of hs-tier3. closing this bug. JDK-8211977 should merge all testlibrary tests, put them in one test group and, hopefully, get this group run as part of tier1.

as bugs in the testlibrary might cause massive test failures or type II errors, it's better to run these tests in earlier tiers.
