Reverted the text alignment to have vertical alignment as before, but kept the JMenuItem imageicon alignment as it seems to be at par with native app for normal non-radio/non-check JMenuItem (as mentioned here https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/pull/29730#issuecomment-3919123593) and this JBS is about that only..
