JDK-8319300: Remove unused methods in WorkArounds and Utils

[hns]

Please review a simple removal of unused methods in WorkArounds and Utils.

Utils.findClass(Element,String) was the principal entry point of this cluster of methods. It was last used by the ThrowsTaglet inherit method, but that code was removed in JDK-8295277.
