update jtreg in 16.04 LTS to the version required by openjdk-9

[Matthias Klose]

update jtreg in 16.04 LTS to the version required by openjdk-9. Starting with recent openjdk-9 snapshot, openjdk-9 expects jtreg version 4.2-b03 for running the tests. Proposing to update xenial to this new upstream version.

jtreg is only used for opendjk, and the openjdk-8 tests still run with the new jtreg version.

acceptance criteria: jtreg builds, and a (PPA) build for openjdk-8 succeeds as well.
