<Swing Dev> [12] JDK-8213516: jck test api/javax_accessibility/AccessibleState/fields.html fails intermittent

[Phil Race]

The peers were not part of the SE specification.
This class is, it just became obsolete so has been deprecated which
on its own has no spec impact. So I would not call it a similar situation.

As I pointed out in what might have been an off-list comment, we can 
consider
the deprecation for removal route, but that wouldn't solve the problem 
today.

But excluding the test is a possible option for 12, so we could defer fixing
the underlying regression until 13.
