Thread::countStackFrames has been deprecated for 20+ years and has

Java SE 14. It's was never a well-defined method and I've been unable
to find anything that uses it. The StackWalker API is a much better
solution for code that is interested in the number of stack frames.
Joe Darcy has suggested degrading the method in advance of its removal.
We did the same with stop(Throwable) when we changed it to throw UOE in
Java SE 8 before finally removing it in 11. Here is the updated webrev
and CSR. The CSR will need to be re-reviewed. The method description is
brief and the same as what we did for stop(Throwable).

Looks good.

Reviewed.
Also just to summarize the discussion/objection from Seth Lytle. I think
we've established that that it was a regression in JDK 10 that allowed
that example to work. The method has always been specified to fail when
the thread is not suspended.
Yes.
