Heads-up: default configuration name change in jdk11u-dev?

Hi,

I was sifting through my CI build logs and I realized that all of the sudden jdk11u-dev tree now 
configures itself into "linux-x86_64-server-fastdebug", not into 
"linux-x86_64-normal-server-fastdebug", as usual. Which breaks CI scripts. Granted, more reliable 
scripts would set the configuration names explicitly, but still this is a subtle breakage.

Upstream removed "-normal-" part with:
   https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8210962

jdk11u-dev bisection shows the same happened in this backport:
   https://github.com/openjdk/jdk11u-dev/commit/75b3e45fe9d16a8e29f4fd51f93e01acc9436562

Notice the "move" around CONF_NAME variable from basics.m4 to basic.m4. This actually makes me 
wonder if there are other subtle changes happened during this move.
