RFD: Can we remove the deprecated internal Unsafe *Object* methods?

[mandy.chung at oracle.com]

These deprecated methods were added to make jsr166.jar to run on 
different JDK releases.  I think it's time to remove these deprecated 
xxxObject* methods as the renames have been done since JDK 12 for 5 
years.   I added a comment [1] to confirm with Doug and Martin.
