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.
