Thanks Artem. Adding them to AWTPermission would bring them into Java SE 
/ public API and that doesn't seem to be worth it. The main thing is 
that we move them out of sun.security.util.SecurityConstants so that we 
can finally eliminate the execution-time dependency (what we have in the 
jdk8 forest is okay for profiles but we need to do better with modules).
