AWT clipping performance on Windows can be significantly improved

      The ReleaseDC() method in AwtGraphics contains a redundant call to LogicalSelectClipRgn.

      This comment is extracted from an email message received from the actual submitter of this bug report, Armin Ebrahimi <###@###.###>:
      "It is not necessary to reset the clip region to NULL since each thread calls either GetDC or ValidateDC which in turn sets the clipping region. Removing
      this call provides for a substantial improvement when clipping is enabled."

      Armin has measured a performance improvement of up to 50% for clipped AWT calls (e.g., draw line, rectangle, and oval drawing, etc).
