obsolete openjdk-11-policytool.desktop file is still installed - gives error when users try to launch from menu

[Rik Mills]

I believe the policytool was deprecated, so there is no longer an alternative linked to /usr/bin/policytool for the .desktop file to use.

However, the desktop file is still installed to

/usr/share/applications/openjdk-11-policytool.desktop

This result in a invalid desktop entry in at least KDE Plasma's main desktop menus, which produces the error that /usr/bin/policytool cannot be found if a user tries to launch it.

I made the initial report (https://www.kubuntuforums.net/showthread.php/73441-OpenJDK-Policy-Tool-Error) and can confirm on minimal and full installation.
