      `javac` will no longer use the outdated "i64" suffix for 64-bit integers on Windows when creating header files and will instead emit the standard "LL" suffix, as recommended by Microsoft.

      This will not affect compliant versions of the Microsoft Visual C/C++ compiler in any way.

      This change allows for more compatibility when compiling Windows Java Native Interface libraries with compilers other than Microsoft Visual C/C++.
