Description

The items to implement: 
- adapt the existing dynamic GTK shim to support GTK 3 as well
- rework Swing GTK LnF to support GTK-3
- migrate FileChooserDialog peer to GTK-3
- migrate AwtRobot to GTK-3 (or maybe remove dependency on any GTK)

Comments

Note that the 8u backport for this fix, along with the follow-on fixes for various GTK 3 issues, is tracked by JDK-8207322 and will be pushed using that bug ID and not this one.
