jtreg.jar does not allow to set arbitrary parameters for tested VM in TESTVMOPTS.
The problem is that the same options are passed as to java launcher as to the compiler
causing compilation errors.

This makes impossible to verify some bugs which require additional parameters (like -Xshared)
or to perform test runs with such parameters.

A possible solution could be to skip parameters not understood by the compiler in CompilerAction.
I am not sure that it's worth to pass any non-default parameters to the compiler.

Also, it is necessary to quote values from envVars in ShellAction
