[14]RFR(XS): 8236062: Disable clhsdb initialization of SA javascript support since it will always fail, and will likely be removed soon

Hello,

Please review the following:

https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8236062
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~cjplummer/8236062/webrev.00/

Since SA javascript support is broken as described in [1] JDK-8235594, 
and we'll likely remove it, I'd like to at least get it disabled now. 
I'd like to get this into 14 mostly because I really want to get [2] 
JDK-8234048 fixed in 14 because we'll start seeing the clhsdb test 
failures on macos 10.14 and 10.15 more often over the coming months as 
we deploy more macosx test hosts with those versions. However, [2] 
JDK-8234048 is blocked by [3] JDK-8234277 (which improves error checking 
and failure output for the clhsdb tests), and [3] JDK-8234277 is blocked 
by this CR because the exceptions produced when javascript fails to 
initialize end up cluttering the clhsdb test logs, even when the test 
passes (and is misleading when the test fails).

Sorry about all the bug references and inter-dependencies. It's taken a 
while myself to get my head wrapped around how I wanted to approach 
fixing them all in a meaningful order.

thanks,

Chris
