classfile_constants.h was added to ${java.home}/include in JDK 6 [1] as 
an exported interface.   It was intended for BCI native agent to use.  
With the removal of JVM TI demos, I think we should revisit if 
classfile_constants.h should be distributed.

As far as JDK-8190484, the changeset adequately covers the non-exported 
header files.
