The `mode` parameter for ` jdk.internal.perf.Perf.attach()` has never supported 
the value `"rw"` since the source code was imported to the openjdk repo more 
than 15 years ago. In fact HotSpot throws `IllegalArgumentException` when such 
a mode is specified.

It's unlikely such a mode will be required for future enhancements. Support for 
`"rw"` is removed. The "mode" parameter is also removed, since now `"r"` is the 
only supported mode.

I also cleaned up related code in the JDK and HotSpot.

Testing:
- Passed tiers 1 and 2
- Tiers 3, 4, 5 are in progress
