RFR: JDK-8210160 Remove deprecated configure arguments

The original intention with the BASIC_DEPRECATED_ARG_WITH/ENABLE 
function was to keep accepting the argument (so as not to break any 
scripts), but print a warning, and to do so for at least a whole release.

We've been bad at actually removing these options, however.

This fix removes all calls to BASIC_DEPRECATED_ARG_WITH/ENABLE that was 
present when jdk11 was created (and often for much longer). This has 
given distributors and other builders ample of time to fix scripts.
