2.1/master/rt changesets and build breakages

We are busy getting ready to open source more of the runtime starting in
early February. Once this happens, the current approach of pushing
changesets directly to the openjfx repository from the controls forest
will cause the builds to break with increasing regularity. We're
effectively treating the current 2.1/master repository as if it were the
controls team forest, which will no longer work.
As a result, we are soon going to do what we probably should have done
all along: the 2.1/master forest will be just that, the master forest
and only get updated once per week when we push out a new weekly build.
This will keep things stable and in sync as we fix bugs and wind down
the 2.1 release.
For 2.2, we will set things up so we actually have a separate controls
and graphics team forest on openjfx, along with master:
openjfx/2.2/controls/
rt
tests
openjfx/2.2/graphics/
rt
tests
openjfx/2.2/master/
rt
tests
We expect to create 2.2 repositories around the beginning of March.
Controls and graphics will be for those folks who want to live on the
bleeding edge, while master will be the stable source base. As even more
source code becomes open source in 2.2 there will be less and less
reliance on the binary jfxrt.jar (until such time as that dependency
disappears altogether).
