8347300: Don't exclude the "PATH" var from the environment when running app launchers in jpackage tests

[GoeLin]

Backport for the same reasons as for the backport to 21, now to 17.
Based of the change pushed in 21.

I had to resolve CfgFile.java, the code in 17 looks slightly different.
Further I omitted the changes to LauncherAsServiceVerifier.java
because that file is not in 17.

I had to do some further adaptions to make the changes compile.
The code uses some methods only in 21 (List.reversed() and List.getFirst()).
I replaced these by plain coding.
In 21, record Comm has been moved out of TKIT, this is needed now in 17,
too.
Find these changes in the second commit.
