<AWT Dev> Review Request JDK:-8162959 [HiDPI] screenshot artifacts using AWT Robot

   CGWindowListCreateImage() method which is used to capture a 
screenshot on Mac OS X by Robot has imageOption argument which can have 
value: kCGWindowImageBestResolution
https://developer.apple.com/reference/coregraphics/1666230-quartz_window_services/window_image_types?language=objc
    "When capturing the window, return the best image resolution. The 
returned image size may be different than the screen size."

   Could this option help to get a high-resolution CGImageRef on HiDPI 
display?

   Thanks,
   Alexandr.
