The javadoc for PassFailJFrame.forcePass suggests an anti-pattern of forcibly passing the test if a resource is unavailable.

If a resource is unavailable or a feature isn't supported, the test should throw jtreg.SkippedException.

PassFailJFrame.forcePass should be used in semi-automatic tests when the test determines that all the conditions for passing the test are met.

Fix request [21u,17u] I backport this for parity with 21.0.9-oracle,17.0.17-oracle. No risk, only a test change. Clean backport. Testing pointless, doc change. Sap nightly testing passed.
