Description
Summary
------------

Remove the jdeps -profile option.

Problem
-----------

Compact profiles are defined in Java SE 8 and becomes legacy in Java SE 9, with modules.  `jdeps  -profile` option was deprecated for removal in JDK 21.  Customers can use jdeps to find the set of modules required by their applications instead.

Solution
-----------

Remove -profile and -P option.

Specification
-----------------

The man page will be updated to remove `-P` and `-profile` option.

Comments
I see a release note is already planned; moving to Approved.
