Platform TCK challenge for Persistence core annotations (elementCollectionTest) tests that have been excluded since Jakarta EE 8 but not yet fixed

[scottmarlow]

1. Spec Version: Jakarta EE 11 Platform
2. The coordinates of the challenged test(s): ee.jakarta.tck.persistence.core.annotations.mapkeyenumerated.ClientPmservletTest.elementCollectionTest + ee.jakarta.tck.persistence.core.annotations.mapkeytemporal.ClientPmservletTest.elementCollectionTest + ee.jakarta.tck.persistence.core.annotations.mapkeyenumerated.ClientAppmanagedTest.elementCollectionTest + ee.jakarta.tck.persistence.core.annotations.mapkeytemporal.ClientAppmanagedTest.elementCollectionTest + ee.jakarta.tck.persistence.core.annotations.mapkeyenumerated.ClientStateful3Test.elementCollectionTest + ee.jakarta.tck.persistence.core.annotations.mapkeytemporal.ClientStateful3Test.elementCollectionTest + ee.jakarta.tck.persistence.core.annotations.mapkeyenumerated.ClientStateless3Test.elementCollectionTest + ee.jakarta.tck.persistence.core.annotations.mapkeytemporal.ClientStateless3Test.elementCollectionTest
3. The exact TCK version: Jakarta EE 11.0.1 Platform TCK
4. The implementation being tested: WildFly Preview (main branch)
5. Why: The tests have been excluded since Jakarta EE 8 and have not yet been updated to be fixed.
6. Any supporting material: We should remove or update these tests upstream.

The relevant test excludes from EE 10 https://github.com/jakartaee/platform-tck/blob/10.0.x/install/jakartaee/bin/ts.jtx#L67:

com/sun/ts/tests/jpa/core/annotations/mapkeyenumerated/Client.java#elementCollectionTest_from_pmservlet
com/sun/ts/tests/jpa/core/annotations/mapkeyenumerated/Client.java#elementCollectionTest_from_stateless3
com/sun/ts/tests/jpa/core/annotations/mapkeytemporal/Client.java#elementCollectionTest_from_pmservlet
com/sun/ts/tests/jpa/core/annotations/mapkeytemporal/Client.java#elementCollectionTest_from_stateless3

The above test excludes from EE 10 are relevant as the tests should of been fixed or excluded for EE 11 but were not.

Example test failure:

jakartaee/persistence#637 looks similar if you look at the description. #1325 was the fix for that. This seems like the likely test problem.

This seems reasonable to me.
