<AWT Dev> [9] setMaximumSize() and setMaximizedBounds()

[Anthony Petrov]

But users may still want to have a shortcut to "maximize" a window in 
case #3. How about we still allow for maximizing a window, but use its 
maximum size instead of the maximized bounds as the size for a maximized 
window? In other words, the maximum size (if set) has a precedence over 
the maximized bounds.
