Description

Some of the tests are relying on empty stder.
This is very inconvenient for machines using various configurations on various JVMs.

Eg:
JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS='-XX:+UseShenandoahGC '
export JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS

then any jvm invocation (even java -version) prints to stderr
/usr/bin/java -version
Picked up JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS: -XX:+UseShenandoahGC

There are much more cases when stderr is used for smilar informatio, and lucene testsuite should be readdy for this.

Maybe for start just remove all lines staring by "Picked up" for openjdk?-)

Research direction

The issue does not name specific files or tests; begin by locating Lucene tests that require empty stderr and reproduce them with JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS set to -XX:+UseShenandoahGC. Done means informational JVM stderr such as "Picked up JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS" no longer causes the test suite to fail.
