JDK-8215381 - Investigate if current implementation of --license-file is correct for Debian packages
Description
Probably we can get rid of this option as it duplicates functionality to replace the default license template with the custom one from resource directory.

Add jtreg test that should create license from custom template. If that would provide satisfactory results, just drop --linux-deb-copyright.

The fix would revert part of JDK-8215381 fix that added support for --linux-deb-copyright option.

Placing `copyright` in resource directory allows to use 100% custom copyright file with the package, so there is no point to keep --linux-deb-copyright option.
