RFR 8068976: Remove JSDT implementation

[Mandy Chung]

Looks good to me.

Do you plan to push the jdk side change to remove com.sun.tracing 
together with the hotspot change?  I notice that you have a separate bug 
JDK-8062303 for jdk change.  It's fine to choose to do.   It'd also be 
fine to push the jdk change together with this hotspot change.
