[11u] Apple Silicon and 8257852: Remove JNF dependencies from java.desktop module

[Doerr, Martin]

Hi Vladimir,

thanks for your quick reply and for doing all the work!

We noticed that there are quite some follow-up MacOS changes besides the 8 parts. At least:
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8259232
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8259585
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8259729
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8261198
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8263846

We'll have to check we're not missing anything before the release.

Best regards,
Martin
