JEP proposed to target JDK 26: 504: Remove the Applet API

[Mark Reinhold]

The following JEP is proposed to target JDK 26:

  504: Remove the Applet API
       https://openjdk.org/jeps/504

  Summary: Remove the Applet API, which was deprecated for removal in
  JDK 17 (2021).  It is obsolete because neither recent JDK releases nor
  current web browsers support applets.

Feedback on this proposal from JDK Project Committers and Reviewers [1]
is more than welcome, as are reasoned objections.  If no such objections
are raised by 17:00 UTC on Monday, 14 July, or if they’re raised and
then satisfactorily answered, then per the JEP 2.0 process proposal [2]
I’ll target this JEP to JDK 26.
