[OpenJDK 2D-Dev] [9] Review request for 8163854 Add ToolkitImage.getImage() method which loads an image with schema variant

Also as I pointed out before a string specified per-variant is not a 
naming  *scheme*.
It is just a "per-file" add-on to the basename

I could use
Image image = toolkit.getImageUsingNamingSchemes(url,
            new Toolkit.MediaResolutionNamingScheme("abc", 1.5f),
            new Toolkit.MediaResolutionNamingScheme("foo", 2f)

to load files "img.png", "imgabc.png", and "imgfoo.png"
That doesn't look like a consistent scheme at all ...
so give up on that and just have them list the full names and
get rid of the unneeded API.
