JDK-8269003 - Update the java manpage for JDK 18
Description
All flags that expire in JDK 18 should be removed from the special_jvm_flags table.

The Java manpage should also be updated as appropriate (ie if a flag previously documented as obsolete is now expired we move it from the obsolete section to the "expired" section.)
Comments
I overlooked the need to always update the manpage to reflect the current version and to delete the previous release's list of removed options. Thgis is being fixed in JDK-8269003.

Only 4 expired flags to process: { "SuspendRetryCount", JDK_Version::undefined(), JDK_Version::jdk(17), JDK_Version::jdk(18) }, { "SuspendRetryDelay", JDK_Version::undefined(), JDK_Version::jdk(17), JDK_Version::jdk(18) }, { "AssertOnSuspendWaitFailure", JDK_Version::undefined(), JDK_Version::jdk(17), JDK_Version::jdk(18) }, { "TraceSuspendWaitFailures", JDK_Version::undefined(), JDK_Version::jdk(17), JDK_Version::jdk(18) }, no changes to the manpage are needed for these flags.
