I did not remove ACCESS_CLIPBOARD_PERMISSION from sun.awt.AWTPermissions since I am concurrently updating that class in a different PR (https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/22350) , and I know that I will be able to revisit the class when deprecating AWTPermissions.
But if https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/22350 is approved earlier than this one, I may add the removal here.
