New hotspot project repos

[Kelly O'Hair]

A few questions:

Q1: Will the old jdk7/hotspot-* forests be deleted at some point to avoid confusion?

Q2: I assume these hsx/hotspot-* repositories are just single hotspot repositories, not forests?

Q3: I assume that jdk8/hotspot still exists and is related to hsx/hotspot-main, can you explain the
      process of how you will deliver changes into jdk8/hotspot?

Q4: It appears that jdk8/hotspot is out of date (jdk7-b143 vintage instead of b147), will that be fixed soon?

Q5: I assume that the same jcheck extension rules apply to these repositories:
       - No duplicate bugids in changesets
       - Same changeset comment syntax conventions
       - Whitespace rules on sources (no TABs allowed) etc.
