[9] API review request: 8090585: Provide an official API to start the JavaFX platform

[Kevin Rushforth]

This is intentional to preserve compatibility for existing internal code

follow-on issue to find and eliminate this difference, since it does 
seem like an unnecessary inconsistency. Thanks for pointing this out.
