JDK-8264138 - Replace uses of Class.newInstance
Description
The Class.newInstance() method is deprecated in favor of Contructor.newinstance(). According to the API docs for the former:

    clazz.newInstance()

can be replaced by

    clazz.getDeclaredConstructor().newInstance() 

In JavaFX codebase, we did above replacement (except for the android build) under - JDK-8264138.

This bug is to identify and replace similar instances in files for the android and ios builds.
