Description
As per JEP 374 (see JDK-8231264) biased-locking was marked for obsoletion in JDK 16. Based on community feedback it has been decided to defer that to JDK 18, so the special flags table will be updated to indicate that.

Patricio used this bug to reduce the noise in the JDK16 CI: JDK-8256276 Temporarily disable gtest special_flags

As we have now reached build 25 of the release, and the BL related flags have not been removed, the special flag validation test in: gtest/GTestWrapper.java is now failing.
