[OpenJDK 2D-Dev] <AWT Dev> java.awt.* properties initialization?

[Phil Race]

Adding 2d-dev .. as most of these are actually for 2D, not AWT, despite 
the names.

I have bugs filed to get rid of these two 2D properties :

https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8130264 : java.awt.printerjob
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8130266 : java.awt.graphicsenv
Probably I could file another for "awt.toolkit", which is AWT.

The potential external use of these to inject replacments was made moot 
by jigsaw.

So I don't think I'd bother "moving" them, more like replacing them & 
then deleting this code.

fontpath used to be used as a workaround for failure by 2D to locate the 
system fonts
which probably is no longer needed due to better ways we have of doing 
this these days.
We probably could remove that along with the code which reads it.

I'd have to think about where we could put the isInAquaSession() logic.
