The Class::forName behavior change to match JNI FindClass is a compatible 
change and seems pretty attractive as it would be expected that Class::forName 
would give the same behavior as FindClass which uses the system classloader.  
The test for 8281006 was enhanced to test for this change.  Merged master to 
pick up fixes to unrelated test failures to reduce noise.
