JDK-8213269 - convert test/hotspot/jtreg/runtime/memory/RunUnitTestsConcurrently to gtest
Description
VMError::test_error_handler() and XX:ErrorHandlerTest and XX:Test*ErrorHandler are used to test error handling, these tests can be relative easily ported to gtest, which will not only improve test quality but also remove test-only purpose code from hotspot.

Closing as WNF then.

I'd like to keep the ErrorHandlerTest switch inside the hotspot, please. Its value goes way beyond specific signal handler tests, as a general way to induce an almost real fault into the VM for test purposes. About XX:Test*ErrorHandler, I am not sure how that would work in gtests, without cooperation from hotspot signal handling.
