Review request for 8050804: (jdeps) Recommend supported API to replace use of JDK internal API

[Mandy Chung]

My first version prints a separate table of the replacements following 
the new warning message at the end of the jdeps output.  I like the 
first version better than this version replacing rt.jar with "Use..." 
message.   I might be too anxious getting developers to take action 
using the supported APIs when there is one and hence this version.

I'll update the webrev to print as a separate table.

thanks
Mandy
