8341778: Some javac tests ignore the result of JavacTask::call

[rm-gh-8]

Backporting JDK-8341778: Some javac tests ignore the result of JavacTask::call.

Multiple tests ignore the Boolean return value from JavacTask.call(), causing silent failures where tests appear to pass despite actual compilation errors. This fix adds result validation to all affected test cases.. Ran GHA Sanity Checks (passed), jtreg tier1 tests (passed) and related tests (passed) on linux-x64, linux-aarch64, macos-aarch64 and windows-x64:

(Passed) - make test-tier1
(Passed) - make test TEST=test/jdk/java/beans
(Passed) - make test TEST=test/hotspot/jtreg/vmTestbase/gc/g1/unloading

Results are attached.
