ThreadGroup.suspend/resume were degraded to throw UOE in Java 19. As of Java 19, Thread.suspend/resume continues to work for platform threads but throws UOE for virtual threads. The next step is to degrade both methods to throw UOE for all threads. A corpus search of 19M classes in 113k JAR files found only 22 classes using these methods so this change is unlikely to be disruptive.

Changes look good.
