thank you so much @Jugen for checking and the feedback!

I see that a lot of what is being done in TextFlowExt should become unnecessary with the new API (or maybe even the whole thing might become unnecessary).

Also, while the new API do not address [JDK-8091012](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8091012) _directly_, that is, there is no field added to `HitInfo`, it looks like the information provided by the LayoutInfo should be sufficient to implement what you guys need as a utility, since you will have the geometry of text lines in the layout, right?

Anyway, thank you.  I agree with you that we should add T/TF.strikeThroughShape() for consistency sake.
