The finalize() in java.lang.Object has been deprecated in JDK 9. Various classes in JakartaMail implement a finalizer that should simply be removed.

This ticket can only be completed once #709 is completed.

Goals for this ticket would be:

Remove all finalizer methods from classes.
Ensure that the existing close method for that class has the proper try/finally to ensure no unexpected failure prevent freeing the resource. Most classes need to be updated to cover this case.
