jtreg policy option overrides the system security policy file and hence some existing test policy files have to duplicate the entries to grant permissions for JDK.
jtreg has been enhanced to provide "java.security.policy" option to specify using the specified policy file in the same way as -Djava.security.policy=<policy file> to extend the system security policy. The current jtreg "policy" option actually translates to -Djava.security.policy==<policy file> (double equals) to override the system security policy. This patch updates several tests to use the new java.security.policy options along with removing the duplicated entries from the test policy files.
