New test JmodExcludedFiles.java fails on Windows when --with-external-symbols-in-bundles=public is used

        JDK-8159927 added a test to verify that the JMODs of a JDK image do not contain symbol files (e.g. .pdb, .diz, .dSYM etc.).

        Generally the assumption that jmods should not contain symbol files is correct but there is one exception to this. On Windows we can use configure option --with-external-symbols-in-bundles=public to build stripped debug symbol files. These stripped symbol files are much smaller than full symbol files and provide the feature that we have line numbers in hs_err files (native call stacks).

        So, a configuration --with-external-symbols-in-bundles=public is valid and the test should not fail in that case but accept these pdb files.
