THIRD_PARTY_README mangled

[Martin Buchholz]

Checking the jdk7 MASTER, I see that
there are two flavors of THIRD_PARTY_README
that should probably be un-forked.

 $ find -name THIRD_PARTY_README | xargs sum
27722   125 ./THIRD_PARTY_README
61624   125 ./jaxws/THIRD_PARTY_README
27722   125 ./langtools/THIRD_PARTY_README
61624   125 ./jaxp/THIRD_PARTY_README
61624   125 ./jdk/THIRD_PARTY_README
27722   125 ./hotspot/THIRD_PARTY_README
61624   125 ./build/linux-amd64/j2re-image/THIRD_PARTY_README
61624   125 ./build/linux-amd64/j2sdk-image/THIRD_PARTY_README
61624   125 ./build/linux-amd64/j2sdk-image/jre/THIRD_PARTY_README
27722   125 ./corba/THIRD_PARTY_README

It appears that some licenses are correctly included verbatim,
and some are gratuitously reformatted.

All the THIRD_PARTY_READMEs should be the same in all the repos, right?
Anyways, the latest TL/jdk/THIRD_PARTY_README
