JDK-8059038 - Create new launcher for SA tools
Description
Since JDK-8059038 has been backported to JDK 8u, the j2re-image, has the following in folder 'bin':

$ ls bin/
clhsdb  hsdb  java  jjs  keytool  orbd  pack200  policytool  rmid  rmiregistry  servertool  tnameserv  unpack200

This is wrong, clhsdb and hsdb shouldn't be there for JRE as they don't work anyway:

$ ./bin/clhsdb 
Error: Could not find or load main class sun.jvm.hotspot.CLHSDB
$ ./bin/hsdb 
Error: Could not find or load main class sun.jvm.hotspot.HSDB

They rely on sa-jdi.jar, which isn't built for j2re-image. These launchers need to be filtered for the JRE case.

Updated approval label from jdk8u-fix-ok to jdk8u-fix-yes so as to not confuse filters.

Fix Request (OpenJDK 8u): Please approve this fix to OpenJDK 8u. It removes broken launchers from the JRE image, and keeps them for the JDK image where they work properly. The patch has been reviewed by Aleksey Shipilev.
