RFR(S) 8075216: Remove old flags, regarding to JDK9, from obsolete_jvm_flags

[Volker Simonis]

Hi Dmitry,

can you please make sure that none of these options which you will
remove is still used anywhere else in the sources. I've just
cherry-picked some of the options and saw that for example
UseVectoredExceptions is still present in
../hotspot/src/os_cpu/aix_ppc/vm/globals_aix_ppc.hpp and
../hotspot/src/os_cpu/linux_ppc/vm/globals_linux_ppc.hpp for example.


Thanks,
Volker
