JDK-8193032 - Remove terminally deprecated SecurityManager APIs
Description
Summary
-------

Remove the terminally deprecated `java.lang.SecurityManager` methods that have been marked for removal since Java SE 9: `checkTopLevelWindow`, `checkSystemClipboardAccess`, `checkAwtEventQueueAccess`, and `checkMemberAccess`.

Problem
-------

In Java SE 9, these methods were marked for removal as part of JDK-8145468.  Also in Java SE 9, the first three methods were re-specified to check `AllPermission` by JDK-8029886, and in Java SE 10 `checkMemberAccess` was changed to check AllPermission by JDK-8186535.  These methods no longer have any benefit, and removing them will follow through on the the plan to remove them.

Solution
--------

Remove the following deprecated java.lang.SecurityManager methods that have been marked with forRemoval=true since JDK 9: `checkTopLevelWindow`, `checkSystemClipboardAccess`, `checkAwtEventQueueAccess`, and `checkMemberAccess`.

Specification
-------------

See the attached specdiff 8193032-specdiff.00.zip.

Moving the request to Provisional state; will move to Approve once the request is finalized. I note the parent issue already has a release note indicated, which is appropriate for this change.
