Review Request: 8004803: build-infra: Cannot use icedtea as boot for closed build.

[Tim Bell]

See the message thread on build-infra with subject "Problems with non 
Oracle boot JDKs and class file version 52"

  http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/build-infra-dev/2012-December/002601.html

The issue appears if the bootstrap VM uses a class file version older 
than what the current build is generating.

In this particular case, the bootclasspath needs to be supplied to javac 
and not the java running javac.  Changing the order of the arguments to 
be after the javac .jar means javac will process them.
