Code review request: JDK-8000692,Remove old KERNEL code

[Chris Plummer]

We stopped building kernel when minimalvm support was added. At the time 
it was only being built on Windows. As for sun.jkernel.DownloadManager, 
I see remnants of it in jdk/.hg/store/data, so it looks like it was 
deleted. install/src/windows still contains DownloadManager.c and 
DownloadManager.h. These should probably be removed.
