RFR(M): 8057538: Sponsor for back port of --with-freetype-src searched

Hello Patrick, try reverting common/autoconf/generated-configure before 
generating the patch. That file does not need to be reviewed as it's 
just generated anyway. That should reduce the patch size.

In order to lower the effort of building also the OpenJDK 8 on Windows, myself and some colleges have back ported the build scripts from OpenJDK 9.
