A forked JVM will ignore the toolchain jdk if the toolchain is set to a higher version than the system jdk.

Similar to this https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MTOOLCHAINS-28

Research direction

Start by reproducing the forked-JVM behavior with a toolchain JDK higher than the system JDK, using the SUREFIRE-1942 description and the linked MTOOLCHAINS-28 issue as context. Trace the toolchain selection and fork launch path; done means the fork uses the configured higher-version toolchain rather than the system JDK.
