As per the spec of `Class.getMethod()`, it can throw `SecurityException` if **SecurityManager is present**. Since SM won't be enabled as per [JEP 486](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8338625), it seems unlikely that `SecurityException` will be thrown and is no longer needed. Hence removed from jdk.accessibility module.
