RFR: JDK-8137259 configure needs to parse Verona-style version strings for bootjdk

[Iris Clark]

Hi, Magnus.

Thanks for taking care of this.

The modified regular expression looks like it will handle Verona builds now.

Regards,

Normally, the JDK should be built by a JDK from previous version (e.g. 
JDK8 for JDK9). However, building with JDK9 on JDK9 is (somewhat) supported.

A JDK9 bootjdk with the new Verona-style version string will currently not be recognized by configure.

This fix will be pushed to verona/stage.
