Building GraalVM upon JDK 11

[Doug Simon]

Hi Yifei,

Building a complete GraalVM is not yet supported on any JDK other than 8. We are currently working on native-image support for later JDKs. The https://github.com/oracle/graal/blob/master/vm/README.md file will be updated once this support is ready.
