Progress:
a) `hotspot:tier4` still runs cleanly, and a bit faster due to recent
`vmTestbase` parallelism improvements.
b) `jdk:tier4` has a lot of failures in headful mode, probably because the
tests do not like to run in parallel, see for example #5533. It would take a
while to resolve for all GUI tests. If we are in agreement that current `tier4`
definition is good, maybe it would be proper to integrate this PR, and then
make `tier4` clean for headful mode?
