Review Request: Build-infra M1

[Kelly O'Hair]

Corba Makefile says:  45 # Thus we force the target bytecode to 6.
But I think 6 should be 7, or better yet  "...the boot jdk target bytecode."

Everything else looks ok to me.

For hotspot, all necessary changes have been pushed into hotspot-rt. For jdk, there are two webrevs, one with everything and one with just the category 1 changes, to make it easier to see them. Finally for the root repository there are only new files in the common subdir.
