We prefer duplication of all tests in the testsuite to keep test coverage.

To be sure we don't have regressions with introducing Elytron and at the same time we are able to cover current features with Elytron, we must run all tests with both security subsystems.
Even if a test is not security related on the first glance, the tested component may use a security feature internally. By switching to the new security subsystem the feature may stop work.

Let's keep the current (legacy security based) tests alive until the legacy security subsystem is fully removed.
Then we'll simply remove the *-legacy-security testsuite modules.
