In fact, JDK 9 changes to the documentation prior to this change are reverted (VS2010->VS2013 bump and other build requirement changes (namely [JDK-8041593](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8041593) (JDK9 update), [JDK-8062223](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8062223) (ccache update), [JDK-8076531](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8076531) (Windows default compiler change) and [JDK-8072023](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8072023) (make version change)). We can make our own updates once these changes are in.

I fixed a bug in `common/bin/update-build-readme.sh` which checks the variable `MARKDOWN` for the location of the processor but then uses a bare `markdown` in the actual invocation.  This script is removed in JDK-8176509 anyway, being replaced with `pandoc`.

@gnu-andrew is the plan to backport JDK-8176509 next?
