This PR addresses [JDK-8284445](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8284445).

Context: the warning might be more important than it seems. Our JavaFX-based desktop app has [an issue](https://github.com/defold/defold/issues/7845) — when the user opens 2 instances of the app, one of the instances hangs after a while. While debugging the issue, I found that it's somehow related to the system menu bar — not refreshing it fixes the issue. Further investigations revealed that the app hangs only if we show menus that use F1-F24 shortcuts. This reminded me of the warnings we get about `NSEventModifierFlagFunction specified to -setKeyEquivalentModifierMask` for such shortcuts. I experimented with removing the modifier for these shortcuts, and it helped with our issue!
