[OpenJDK 2D-Dev] JDK 9 RFR of JDK-8134084: Mark client libs regression tests using randomness

Hello, As part of implementing tiered testing [1], client library tests which use randomness should be marked with the corresponding keyword. The analogous changes have been made in core libs, see JDK-8078334: Mark regression tests using randomness. Webrev at JDK-8134084 : Mark client l
