JDK-8270380 - Change the default value of the java.security.manager system property to disallow
Description
In JDK 18, attempting to run rmiregistry results in the following:

$ rmiregistry
java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: The Security Manager is deprecated and will be removed in a future release
	at java.base/java.lang.System.setSecurityManager(System.java:416)
	at java.rmi/sun.rmi.registry.RegistryImpl.createRegistry(RegistryImpl.java:499)
	at java.rmi/sun.rmi.registry.RegistryImpl.main(RegistryImpl.java:556)

The workaround is to allow set the security manager property on the command line to allow programmatic setting of the security manager:

$ rmiregistry -J-Djava.security.manager=allow

Alternatively, the security manager could be enabled directly on the command line:

$ rmiregistry -J-Djava.security.manager

Either works, though they give different warning messages.

The property should be set by the rmiregistry launcher instead of requiring the user to provide it.
