Please review the below change which adds support for running jtreg tests from the top level test/ directory using the 'make TESTDIRS= jtreg_tests' syntax. The TESTDIRS syntax is already used in files like hotspot/test/Makefile and jdk/test/Makefile and allows for selecting which jtreg tests to run by providing a directory/path filter. The change enables doing the same type of invocation from the top level; something like this:

cd test && make TESTDIRS=../hotspot/test/runtime jtreg_tests cd test && make TESTDIRS=../jdk/test/javax jtreg_tests

The implementation logic simply extracts the component (hotspot, jdk etc.) from the value of TESTDIRS and delegates to the respective component's test/Makefile, removing the ..//test from TESTDIRS in the process.

Thanks, Mikael
