JDK-8091189 - Move BehaviorBase into public API
Description
The SkinBase class could be moved into the javafx.scene.control package, to sit alongside the Skin interface as the default base implementation for all skins (ones created by Oracle employees and 3rd parties).

Prior to this being done, the SkinBase class will have to be reviewed to see if it meets the needs of 3rd party developers.

SkinBase is now public API and no private API is being exposed (that is, Behavior references have been removed).

Attaching a patch that removes all references to Behavior from the public SkinBase class. This makes it possible to move towards completing this Jira issue, and to progress the equivalent issue for BehaviorBase (RT-21598) at a different pace (to allow for proper time to be given to action map designs, etc).
