This patch adds a new lint warning category, namely `-Xlint:restricted` to
enable warnings on restricted method calls.
The patch is relatively straightforward: javac marks methods that are marked
with the `@Restricted` annotation with a corresponding internal flag. This is
done both in `Annotate` when compiling JDK from source, and in `ClassReader`
when JDK classfiles are read. When calls to methods marked with the special
flag are found, a new warning is issued.
While there are some similarities between this new warning and the preview API
warnings, the compiler does *not* emit a mandatory note when a compilation unit
is found to have one or more restricted method calls. In other words, this is
just a plain lint warning.
The output from javac looks as follows:
Foo.java:6: warning: [restricted] MemorySegment.reinterpret(long) is a
restricted method.
Arena.ofAuto().allocate(10).reinterpret(100);
^
(Restricted methods are unsafe, and, if used incorrectly, they might crash
the JVM or result in memory corruption)
