> Remove all code for normalizing file paths to Unicode Normalization Format D on macOS. This removes support for the system property `jdk.nio.path.useNormalizationFormD`. This change nullifies the effect of the change made for [JDK-8289689](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8289689).

An existing test was modified but I don't think it provides much value here as it was intended to validate that normalization was being performed. The test should probably either be replaced or removed outright.
