Description
In preparation for JEP 160, SharedSecrets and friend interfaces should be moved out of 'sun.misc' and located in a truly private package. This is so that they are not part of the proposed to be exported 'sun.misc' package.
Comments
I was able to fix it quickly, so it is fine now.

There are no functional changes. Sorry to hear that this has broken JavaFX, I did not think anyone outside of the JDK was using this.

This change has broken all JavaFX applications. See JDK-8139450. We will need to fix JavaFX to use the classes in their new location. Is there any functional change other than the moving of the class to a new package?

The proposal is to move these classes to 'jdk.internal.misc'. 'jdk.internal.*' is already on the restricted package list.
