Change includes both the backport of the latest libpng change, [JDK-8372534](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8372534), and previous updates not present in 8u ([JDK-8316030](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8316030) - 1.6.40, [JDK-8329004](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8329004) - 1.6.43, [JDK-8348598](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8348598) - 1.6.47). The change built fine with GCC 8 on RHEL 8 and `java/awt/SplashScreen` tests passed.
