RFR: 8182758: Remove the Native-Header Generation Tool (javah)

[Maurizio Cimadamore]

Looks great. Only doubt: do we have enough tests for the javah 
replacement? I see that this patch removes several tests and, while I 
agree they don't make sense in the new, javac-driven world, I wonder if 
some of those tests should be converted in order to stress similar edge 
cases in the new counterpart. That said - the 'new' tests under 
test/tools/javac/nativeHeaders/javahComparison/ seems very 
comprehensive, so they probably already cover whatever was covered by 
the old tests.
