RFR(s): 8204243: remove Thread.destroy() and Thread.stop(Throwable)

[Iris Clark]

Hi, Stuart.

I think you need to make changes to this file too:

http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk/jdk/file/tip/src/java.base/share/classes/java/lang/doc-files/threadPrimitiveDeprecation.html

Thanks,
iris

Have you considered removing the "What about Thread.stop(Throwable)" 
section completely from the threadPrimitiveDeprecation doc? A new developer reading the javadoc in 2019 shouldn't need to read about a removed method.

Otherwise I think this looks good, including the updates to the JDWP and JVM TI specs.
