Please, review this small fix for drag-n-drop on Linux with HiDPI turned on!

This bug is due to the following reason: while scaling Java recalculates resolution (W x H) according to sun.java2d.uiScale (W/SCALE x H/SCALE) and works inside these new coordinates but at the same time the events, that come from the system, continue reporting positions in the old coordinates (W x H).

The idea of the suggested fix is in division of coordinates on the scale when they come from the system to Java and multiplying them on the scale when they go back from Java to the system. It is similar to processing events from mouse and buttons. 

Testing is quite complicated because for reproducing this bug the following conditions should be met:
1.	HiDPI is turned on
2.	sun.java2d.uiScale.enabled = true and sun.java2d.uiScale != 100%
3.	the source of drag-n-drop is not java application

The step-by-step guide how to reproduce this bug is added to https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8257414.
