The `RuntimeHints` API mainly reflects what is needed to write GraalVM reachability metadata. The latest GraalVM version simplified its format. This commit applies relevant simplifications as parts of it are not needed anymore. The new metadata format implies methods, constructors and fields introspection as soon as a reflection hint is registered for a type. As a result, `ExecutableMode.INTROSPECT`, and all `MemberCategory` values except `MemberCategory.INVOKE_*` are being deprecated. They have no replacement, as registering a type hint is enough. In practice, it is enough to replace this: ``` hints.reflection().registerType(MyType.class, MemberCategory.DECLARED_FIELDS); ``` By this: ``` hints.reflection().registerType(MyType.class); ``` As for `MemberCategory.PUBLIC_FIELDS` and `MemberCategory.DECLARED_FIELDS`, values were replaced by `INVOKE_PUBLIC_FIELDS` and `INVOKE_DECLARED_FIELDS` to make their original intent clearer and align with the rest of the API. Note, if you were using those values for reflection only, you can safely remove those hints in favor of a simple type hint. See gh-33847
