With all dependencies of com.sun.tools.classfile in the JDK converted to the ClassFile API, we can remove this legacy library for release 25 like how we removed ASM.
Testing: built locally, running tier 1-3 tests
Don't know why, but GitHub is redundantly displaying changes that are already in #24212.
