8u40 rampdown schedule

[Johan Vos]

Hi Kevin,

There is still some synchronisation work for the Android port. I have to
create patches for all the changes I made, but I think it would be a bad
idea to do that in a rush, and to try to push them to 8u40. Instead, I
think we can release 8u40 for Android (it's a non-Oracle release anyhow),
and try to integrate all patches upstream for 8u60.

That means 8u40 for Android will be built from the bitbucket repository,
but I think that is politically the right thing. For 8u60, we probably
still build from the bitbucket repository, but hopefully with 0 code
changes between that repository and OpenJFX.
