GEODE-4639: Removing Java PathFinder concurrency test runner

Removing the dependency on Java PathFinder for running concurrent tests.
We haven't been writing new tests with this framework and the JPF team
is not merging necessary fixes.

There is still a LoopRunner available to test for concurrency issues.

> We added a dependency on Java PathFinder as part of Geode-3702 .
> Unfortunately, I've been unable to get the JPF team to respond to requests to merge fixes to JPF that are required to get JPF to really work with Geode code - see https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/java-pathfinder/Yb4JtrYLQg8.
> At this point I think the best course of action is to remove JPF as a test framework to execute on. This does not completely remove the capability to write concurrency tests using the ConcurrentTestRunner, but tests will have to use the less deterministic LoopRunner.
