Zero patch consolidation

[Gary Benson]

Hi all,

So the Zero patch consolidation I've been working on is now complete.

As of now, the only patches relating to Zero in icedtea6 are in the
patches/zero/ directory.  Each one is numbered with the Sun bug ID
with which it was pushed to OpenJDK7, and each one is generated from
the OpenJDK7 forest into which it was initially pushed.

The rationale behind this is that at some point in the future
changesets relating to Zero may appear in OpenJDK6 or HotSpot Express
tarballs.  When this happens, patches will fail to apply.  By grouping
the patches in this way, only one patch needs removing for each
changeset.  At some further point in the future Zero itself may appear
in an OpenJDK6 or HotSpot Express tarball; when this happens the
relevant files under ports/ will be removed (the ARM interpreter will
need turning into a patch) and changes to Zero itself will be handled
in this way.

Please don't use patches/zero for other files.

I haven't mirrored this change in IcedTea7; that has very few Zero
patches left, and after b78 (or maybe b77) they will all be gone,
so it's not like it's something I'll have to keep track of long term
like I do for IcedTea6.

Cheers,
Gary
