RFR: JEP 367: Remove the Pack200 Tools and API

[David Holmes]

Hi Vicente,

Not sure the best mailing list for this review ... jdk-dev may not be 
well monitored.

Is there a separate review thread for the actual tool removal (jdk.pack) 
and build system changes?

This removal seems okay, but I found one additional reference:

./src/utils/IdealGraphVisualizer/nbproject/project.properties:auxiliary.org-netbeans-modules-apisupport-installer.pack200-enabled=false

Thanks,
David
