Description
Mark the deprecated netscape.javascript.JSObject::getWindow method with "forRemoval=true".

This method is only relevant when running an Applet in a web browser, via the Java Plugin. It was deprecated in JDK 9, along with the Java Plugin.

Java Plugin was removed in JDK 11, so there is no longer a useful way to use this method.
