There's been unnecessary (near) duplication of functionality, and messy logic, in the langtools gensrc step, for a long time. (Basically since we got rid of the mercurial forest...)

This is a first attempt at cleaning this up. The file GensrcCommonLangtools.gmk is removed. This contained three pieces of functionality. 

* SetupVersionProperties was moved to GensrcCommonJdk.gmk (which was renamed to GensrcCommon.gmk). 
* PropertiesParser was only used in one place, and moved there. (jdk.compiler/Gensrc.gmk). It was also heavily rewritten to show more clearly what it actually is doing.
* SetupCompileProperties (from langtools) were replaced with calls to SetupCompileProperties (from GensrcCommon/"jdk"), which was modified slightly to accomodate for the differences. (Also the Java tool needed to be slightly modified to accept the same syntax as the JDK version of this tool.)

A reasonable follow-up is to research if the two SetupCompileProperties tools can be unified into one.
