<AWT Dev> [OpenJDK 2D-Dev] JDK 9 RFR of JDK-8067092: Suppress windows-specific deprecation warnings in the java.desktop module

[Jim Graham]

Stop using them and replace them with new package private methods and a 
cross-package accessor (similar to the SurfaceManager.ImageAccessor 
pattern)?  What are the technical constraints preventing this?

I think the getPeer() method used to be used by AWT applications to tell 
if an app was on the screen or not, but we can easily gut the method to 
just return any old non-null value when the peer exists (even just leave 
it returning the true peer as long as we aren't using it internally to 
get the peer).  Then we could independently decide if its legacy uses 
are no longer allowed and switch it to throwing an exception or 
returning null or uninteresting values as we see fit...
