Backport is not clean because it required adapting `make/lib/Awt2dLibraries.gmk` to fit JDK11.

This is because JDK11 is missing [JDK-8319197](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8319197) that excludes hb-subset from compilation, so this is also included as the second commit in the pull request.

The code changes look fine and match 17u.

I'm confused by what is going on in `make/lib/Awt2dLibraries.gmk`.  There should be just two changes here according to the description:

* The addition of `dangling-pointer` to the disabled warnings as in 8348597
* The expansion of `LIBFONTMANAGER_EXCLUDE_FILES` from 8319197

While I would prefer 8319197 was handled separately - as it is independent of this change - it is simple enough that it can be included here.

What I don't get is why the block is being indented by one space, which is obscuring the changes made to the set of disabled warnings. I think the clang ones are also being reordered but it's hard to tell for sure. I imagine this is why the other additions Severin already caught slipped in as well.

I also don't think an AIX change should be included if you are not testing on AIX or there is at least some relation to this change.

Please fix `Awt2dLibraries.gmk` to just update the lines we actually want to change as documented in the PR summary without altering the indentation and adding the AIX fix.  Thanks.
