Withdrawn: CODETOOLS-7902818: JMH: Remove Hotspot-specific MBeans profilers

[Henri Tremblay]

<Editorial comment>
Every time I see these things being removed from access I get sadder and
sadder... And why on Earth should JFR be allowed to do things that other
profilers can't.
The strength of Java comes from allowing people to fool around.
If we would not be able to do everything we did all these years, there
would be no Java anymore.
