Goodbye jigsaw/stage forest, hello jigsaw/m2 forest

Now that the source code layout and the changes to build by module are
in JDK 9 it means that the temporary staging forest (jigsaw/stage) that
we used to prepare those changes should no longer be needed. To that
end, jigsaw/stage has been renamed to jigsaw/m1 and changed to be read-only.
Next up is modularizing the structure of the binary images (what we know
today as the JDK and JRE builds in $OUTPUT_DIR/images). There will be a
JEP with a detailed proposal on this soon. We expect there will
significant infrastructure work in this milestone and we need a forest
to collect the various prototype and other pieces that will be needed.
To that end, we have a new forest jigsaw/m2 [1] that we will be using
for this work. It is initially cloned from jdk9-b28.
