Please review this fix, which removes the sun.security.acl package.

jbs: http://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8072663
The sun.security.acl package is the default implementation of
java.security.acl but it's not used in JDK. The JCK tests for
java.security.acl only covers the three exception classes and there are
no JDK tests for the interfaces, implying that the spec does not require
the implementation of java.security.acl interfaces. This is likely
because java.security.acl package have been superseded by classes in the
java.security package since 1.2.
Removing the sun.security.acl implementation will help offset the
increase in size to the base module that was caused by moving
java.security.acl from a separate dedicated module to java.base (see
http://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8069551).
Thanks,
Jason
