Description
We'll need to remove AWT from being loaded on app startup as it conflicts with GLFW (and potentially any other replacement we might want to use).
This has been desired for a long time, some prior docs here https://github.com/processing/processing4/wiki/Exorcising-AWT.

Research direction
Start with the Exorcising AWT wiki page linked in the issue, then trace the application startup path that loads AWT and the GLFW integration. Done means AWT is no longer loaded by default at startup while GLFW and the documented replacement approach remain usable.
