[jdk18] RFR: 8278472: Invalid value set to CANDIDATEFORM structure

According to the Windows API reference, `dwStyle` of [`CANDIDATEFORM`](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/imm/ns-imm-candidateform) structure should be set to `CFS_CANDIDATEPOS` or `CFS_EXCLUDE`. So, `CFS_POINT` is wrong here.

There are two instances in `AwtComponent::SetCandidateWindow` in [`awt_Component.cpp`](https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/blob/f90425a1cbbc686045c87086af586e62f05f6c49/src/java.desktop/windows/native/libawt/windows/awt_Component.cpp#L3914) where the incorrect value is used.

I've created the PR for jdk18 as it's a low-risk fix. If it's inappropriate at this time, I'll open the PR for mainline jdk.
