<Swing Dev> RFR: 8173409: make setMixingCutoutShape public and remove jdk.desktop

[Phil Race]

Bug: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8173409
Webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~prr/8173409/

In OpenJDK the jdk.desktop module (not java.desktop) has only one method.
It is the vestige of com.sun.awt.AWTUtilities added in JDK 6 updates.

It provides a way to access to Component.setMixingCutoutShape

the jdk.desktop module was created so that apps could still access it 
without
using --add-exports - although at the expense of a code update.

We'd prefer to eliminate this non-standard API and module before JDK 9
goes final and can do so by making the above method public and standard

As a result jdk.desktop becomes empty and can go away ..

Swing's own internal uses have been updated and should be fully compatible
since the implementation is unchanged.

The existing tests which verify the API are updated to use the public API.
They should pass as well as they ever did ..

I did leave the AWTAccessor code in there for apps that absolutely have 
no way
to recompile to the new API and need to use --add-exports for now.

A CCC will be submitted for this change.
