RFR: 8342992: Security manager check should not use deprecated methods

As specified in the security manager removal CSR, [JDK-8341858](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8341858), JavaFX now checks at startup whether the security manager is enabled and fails fast with an `UnsupportedOperationException` if it is. The check is currently done in the `<clinit>` methods of `PlatformImpl` and `LauncherImpl` by calling the deprecated `System::getSecurityManager` method.

This PR creates a new `SecurityUtility::checkSecurityManager` utility method in `javafx.base` that uses reflection to avoid calling API that is deprecated for removal. I also added a call to `checkSecurityManager` in `ReflectUtil` and `MethodUtil` in `javafx.base` for non-graphical applications that only use `javafx.base`.
