I looked through the changes with the exception of javac and 
test/langtools and it all looks okay to me. The updates to the tests, 
for MR JARs in particular, look fine.

I see David brought up the -source/-target 12 in SetupJavaCompilers.gmk. 
I assume it wouldn't be too hard to have that use the value from 
DEFAULT_VERSION_FEATURE.

Keeping 10 in the list of DEFAULT_ACCEPTABLE_BOOT_VERSIONS seems right 
for now, I assume 10 will be dropped from that list as soon as 11 ships.
