RFR: 8046765 : (s) makefiles should use parameterized $(CP) and $(MV) rather than explicit commands

[Mike Duigou]

Hello all;

After further testing some additional changes were found to be needed to support building hotspot without configure support. There are a small number of additional changes in various buildtree.make and the windows build.make files to ensure that locations are defined for CP and MV commands. If there's a more appropriate location for these definitions please suggest it.

The patch is otherwise unchanged from the month ago version except for line number offset changes owing to other intervening changesets.

Thanks!

This changes is needed by static code analysis software which provides replacement cp and mv commands that track error reports in executables back to the source from which they are generated.
