Resend - Major issues FXCanvas on Win32 with HiDPI

[Kevin Rushforth]

Hi Tom,

There were several Hi-DPI fixes that went into JDK 9. One of them was 
done as part of new API that was added, so that part cannot be 
backported, but other changes could be if a safe fix were found.

As for finding the problem, the following bugs relating to Hi-DPI and 
interop, and fixed only in 9, might be worth looking at:

https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8091832 (this is the main one)
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8160073
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8146920
