Description
The VM option `-XX:+AggressiveOpts` was deprecated in JDK 11 and support for it was removed in JDK 12 (where its use was ignored other than generating a warning). Use of this flag will now cause an error on VM initialization.

We don't normally create RN's for expired VM flags but AggressiveOpts was considered a special case due to its widespread publicity.
