Release Note: `-Xnoagent` Option Is Deprecated for Removal - Resolved
Description
java command currently allows -Xnoagent to be passed. This option has been ignored for many releases and doesn't provide any functionality. 

This option should be marked as deprecated for removal. A warning log will be printed noting this deprecation.

In a future release the option should be removed and the java launcher will fail with an error if this option is passed.
