RFR [9] 8074716: IntelliJ IDEA project support

[Roger Riggs]

Hi Chris,

For navigation, it seems to work fine.

It does add test source folders for test directories that do not exist 
(corba/test and jaxws/test).
Perhaps, omit them from the template.jdk.iml.

And it adds source folders to a quite a number of directories under 
build/<xxx>/support/gensrc
that do not exist. But I suppose it can not know they will never exist.

idea.sh: 46  "--version" -> "--verbose"

idea.gmk: 8 "specificaton" -> "specification"

template/vcs.xml:  uneven indentation


I did not get the jtreg run option to work, it seemed to compile files 
with the wrong compiler
and tried to compile module-info.java files.

Still, I appreciate being able to use it for navigation and editing.

Thanks, Roger
