Description

This is a followup to JDK13 updates to refresh internal java.util.concurrent lock usages and support. Quoting internal documentation:
     * * ForkJoinTask now uses field "aux" to support blocking joins
     *   and/or record exceptions, replacing reliance on builtin
     *   monitors and side tables.
     * * Scans probe slots (vs compare indices), along with related
     *   changes that reduce performance differences across most
     *   garbage collectors, and reduce contention.
     * * Refactoring for better integration of special task types and
     *   other capabilities that had been incrementally tacked on. Plus
     *   many minor reworkings to improve consistency.
