8311530: Deprecate jdk.jsobject module for removal

[kevinrushforth]

Deprecate the jdk.jsobject module for removal from the JDK, and ship it with JavaFX instead.

See JDK-8337280 / PR openjdk/jfx#1529 for the JavaFX PR that will include the module with JavaFX. That PR describes the needed test scenarios.

This PR does two things:

1. Deprecates the jdk.jsobject module for removal; the javadoc indicates that the module will be delivered with JavaFX
2. Makes jdk.jsobject an upgradeable module, which will facilitate the transition by allowing the version of the module shipped with JavaFX to be used in favor of the deprecated module in the JDK itself.

The GHA run shows a spurious failure in macOS (a network timeout cloning the repo). I'll rerun it with no changes to my branch.

Looks good. I'll review the CSR when its ready.

[AlanBateman]

The changes to make jdk.jsobject an upgradeable module looks right.

I was initially surprised by the wording "will be delivered with JavaFX" but after playing with a few alternatives I concluded that what we have is okay.

Thanks.

Thanks for checking. My testing primarily focused on this aspect of the change, so it's pretty well tested.

Yeah, I tried a few variants and couldn't come up with anything better.

@kevinrushforth Is the CSR on your list to write?

[kevinrushforth]

Yes, this was on hold for a couple weeks; I plan to write the CSR this week.

I've created the CSRs for both the this PR and openjdk/jfx#1529.
