remove old @author tags

      The @author tags in the jtreg code are incomplete and/or obsolete.

      I count the following:

        15 * @author Iris A Garcia
         4 * @author jjg
         2 * @author John R. Rose
         1 * @author ksrini
         1 * @author Dmitry Fazunenko

      which means tags are on less than 20% of the source files.

      Generally, the SCM metadata is a better place for such attribution, even if the per-file data does not go back before the use of Mercurial, at the beginning of OpenJDK.

      I realize that removing old tags can be controversial. Removing the tags is in no way meant to diminish the efforts of the listed people.
