prerelase of icedtea-web 1.8

[Lars Herschke]

Hello,

attached a patch that cause the following changes.

acinclude.m4:
- configure-switch --with-jdk-home acts on windows

Makefile.am:
- windows-fix for changeset 1565:7010aa9d9309
- fixes for make clean with native plugin disabled

rust-launcher:
1. Use cannonicalize from crate dunce, because std::fs:canonicalize
   return on windows unc-paths like this \\?\C:\foo. This paths doesn't
   work with spawn() from std::process::Command.
2. Correct path for jfxrt.jar
3. Use JRE-path instead of JDK-path from registry and don't panic if
   this regkey doesn't exist, because jfxrt.jar, rt.jar and nashorn.jar
   are only in the JRE-directory on openjdk. In addition users, that
   have only installed JRE don't have the JDK-regkey in your registry.




Mit freundlichen Grüßen
