JDK-8301302 - Platform preferences API
Description
The `reducedData` preference should be added to `Platform.Preferences`.

This corresponds to the following OS settings:

Windows: Settings -> Network and Internet -> Ethernet/WiFi -> Metered connection
macOS: Settings -> Network -> Ethernet/WiFi -> Network Settings -> Low data mode
Ubuntu: Settings -> Network -> Wired/WiFi -> Metered connection
Comments
I think a particular preference should be pretty close to universally supported on the desktop platforms to make it to API (minor platform-specific preferences can be added without introducing new API, this was already envisioned when the `Preferences` interface was designed). There aren't many more universal preferences left to add. I don't think the currently proposed preferences are controversial, but if you'd like to discuss them, please go ahead and start a discussion.

Are we going to add all the platform preferences eventually? What is the criteria for including and excluding support for a particular preference? Should this be discussed in the mailing list first?
