RFR 8157730: Mark deprecated java.security.{Identity, IdentityScope, Signer} APIs with forRemoval=true

[Vincent Ryan]

Three Identity-related classes were deprecated in JDK 1.2.
Please review the patch below that marks them as candidates for removal in a future JDK release.

See http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/277 <http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/277> for details of the enhanced deprecation annotation.

Thanks.
