RFR: 8270380: Change the default value of the java.security.manager system property to disallow [v2]

> This change modifies the default value of the `java.security.manager` system property from "allow" to "disallow". This means unless it's explicitly set to "allow", any call to `System.setSecurityManager()` would throw an UOE.
> 
> The `AllowSecurityManager.java` and `SecurityManagerWarnings.java` tests are updated to confirm this behavior change. Two other tests are updated because they were added after JDK-8267184 and do not have `-Djava.security.manager=allow` on its `@run` line even it they need to install a `SecurityManager` at runtime.
> 
> Please note that this code change requires jtreg to be upgraded to 6.1, where a security manager [will not be set](https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/CODETOOLS-7902990).
