RFR 15 8225319: Remove the RMI static stub compiler rmic

[Amy Lu]

Hi, Roger

I noticed some other minor cleanup needed, will they be included in this 
fix, or separately in the future?

1. test/jdk/TEST.groups
To remove `sun/tools/java` from core_tools and svc_tools group. (The 
only one test under `sun/tools/java` got removed in this patch.)

2. doc/building.md and doc/building.html, both mention rmic tool.

3. langtools tests
module:jdk.rmic
./test/langtools/jdk/javadoc/doclet/testModules/jdk/element-list
                     new String[] {"jdk.compiler", "jdk.rmic"},
                     new String[] {"jdk.compiler", "jdk.javadoc", 
"jdk.rmic"},
                     new String[] {"java.compiler", "jdk.compiler", 
"jdk.rmic"},
                     new String[] {"java.compiler", "jdk.compiler", 
"jdk.javadoc", "jdk.rmic"},
./test/langtools/tools/jdeps/modules/InverseDeps.java

4. hotspot tests
  * @summary run CTW for all classes from jdk.rmic module
  * @modules jdk.rmic
  * @run driver/timeout=7200 sun.hotspot.tools.ctw.CtwRunner 
modules:jdk.rmic
./test/hotspot/jtreg/applications/ctw/modules/jdk_rmic.java
                          "sun/rmi/rmic/Main",
./test/hotspot/jtreg/runtime/cds/appcds/ProtectionDomain.java
         //     sun.rmi.rmic.Main (testcase 4),
              {"Loading non-shared app module class first", "sun.rmi.rmic",
               "sun.rmi.rmic.RMIGenerator", "sun.rmi.rmic.Main"},
./test/hotspot/jtreg/runtime/cds/appcds/test-classes/JimageClassPackage.java
"sun/rmi/rmic/Main",
./test/hotspot/jtreg/runtime/cds/appcds/SharedPackages.java

Thanks,
Amy
