Summary: Deprecate the memory-access methods in sun.misc.Unsafe for
removal in a future release. These unsupported methods have been
superseded by standard APIs, namely the VarHandle API (JEP 193,
JDK 9) and the Foreign Function & Memory API (JEP 454,
JDK 22). We strongly encourage library developers to migrate from
sun.misc.Unsafe to supported replacements, so that applications can
migrate smoothly to modern JDK releases.
