As partial solution to #1344, this PR drop JMX support and replaces the usage of RingBufferAdmin in tests with a direct access to the RingBuffer.

Motivation

JMX is an old monitoring technology, which less and less used today. Given its inherent insecurity, we should evaluate if JMX support should even be part of Log4j Core.

Our JMX support code is the main obstacle to the separation of AsyncLogger and related code into its own artifact.

IMHO we should drop JMX support in 3.0.x and evaluate if such a technology should be added again in 3.1.x.
