Description
All flags that expire in JDK 19 should be removed from the special_jvm_flags table.

The Java manpage should also be updated as appropriate e.g. if a flag previously documented as obsolete is now expired we move it from the obsolete section to the "expired" section; and we remove the list of options listed as removed in the previous release (if any).
