The SA JavaThreadFactory interface is no longer used, so it is being removed. I
stumbled on it while looking at JavaThread related code. It looks like it's
original purpose is related to JavaThread subclasses at one point being
platform dependent, as described in the following JavaThread.java comment:
/** This is an abstract class because there are certain OS- and
CPU-specific operations (like the setting and getting of the last
Java frame pointer) which need to be factored out. These
operations are implemented by, for example,
SolarisSPARCJavaThread, and the concrete subclasses are
instantiated by the JavaThreadFactory in the Threads class. */
However, this is no longer the case, and this comment is being removed as part
of [JDK-8348347](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8348347).
