Edit of src/java.base/share/classes/sun/security/util/resources/security.properties
applied to sun/security/util/Resources.java as
"8345940: Migrate security-related resources from Java classes to properties files" not in 21.


test/jdk/sun/security/util/Resources/Usages.java
Trivial resolve as "8338411: Implement JEP 486: Permanently Disable the Security Manager" is not in 21.

The new test jdk/sun/security/tools/keytool/EchoPassword.java fails for passwords with non-ascii characters.
I think this is because many changes to pass the encoding around are missin in 21, especially https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8330276: Console methods with explicit Locale. Removed the part of the test using non-ascii.
