FYI: [icedtea] List patches and remove unnecessary ones.

[Andrew John Hughes]

I've just committed the patch described below which removes several
unused patches from the icedtea repository and documents them all in
a new file, HACKING.

A copy of the latter is attached.  I suggest this is also added to icedtea6
and updated as we go along, so the numerous patches can be tracked.
