RFR: JDK-8244093 Move all IDE support into coherent structure in make directory

[Maurizio Cimadamore]

Didn't review in detail, but some pieces seems suspicious - e.g.

moving "/make/langtools/build.properties" to 
"///make/ide/idea/langtools/build.properties//

Note that langtools's build.properties is used by the langtools ANT 
build which is independent from make - and also mostly independent from 
the IDE. It just provides an ANT target to create the necessary IDE 
files. So, if you want you can move the IDE templates in the new folder, 
but the build script and properties should remain where they are, I think.
