Can I please get  a review for this change which proposes to deprecate for removal the `jrunscript` tool?
The `jrunscript` tool as documented in its specification https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/23/docs/specs/man/jrunscript.html was an experimental and unsupported tool. Ever since the script engine implementations have been removed from the JDK, the default usage of this tool has been non-functional:
$> jrunscript
script engine for language js can not be found
The tool itself could be launched by specifying a script engine implementation in the classpath, in which case it will use that script engine implementation. However, given that the JDK itself ships no such engines anymore and since there are no plans to continue support for this tool, the tool will now print a deprecation warning in preparation for its removal from a future release.
No new tests have been added and existing tests in tier1, tier2 and tier3 continue to pass. I will draft a CSR (and a release note) shortly.
