JDK-8297587 - Upgrade JLine to 3.22.0
Description
The internal JLine uses the 'test' executable to validate if given file descriptors are bound to terminal or not. It always uses `/bin/test`, which some (presumably newer) Linux distributions have, but some don't. The others only have '/usr/bin/test', and JLine fails to switch the terminal into raw mode, effectively disabling most of the editing features.
