Release system resources in CanonTestCase thoroughly
----------------------------------------------------

                 Key: DERBY-4732
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-4732
             Project: Derby
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Test
            Reporter: Yun Lee
            Priority: Minor


Now, in the method of compareCanon(String canon) in CanonTestcase, two 
BufferedReaders----cannonReader and testOutput are closed in try catch block, 
however if some exception occurs above, the two BufferReaders won't be closed, 
and related system resources won't be released. 

Besides, a releative problem is about the ByteArrayOutputStream rawBytes in 
CanonTestcase, it's created in getOutputStream() and closed in 
compareCanon(String canon). It's pointed out by Knut in Derby-2708, 
ByteArrayOutputStream's javadoc says that closing it has no effect, so 
tearDown() method has been added  to CanonTestCase and sets rawBytes to null. 
It certainly can work. However, is it also OK to null out rawBytes in 
compareCanon(String canon)? If so, it seems cleaner than to null it out in 
tearDown() method.
