Java SE Embedded 8u6 and JDK 8u6 for ARM released

[Lisa Selle]

We already sort of "missed the boat" to make this better for 8u26, but 
going forward here are a couple of suggestions to make this easier 
(because I don't see us making the release repos public anytime soon):

- add a special tag when we clone a stabilization repo for an embedded 
release
- add a keyword in the commit notifications when we push to 8u-dev that 
would indicate we are going to pull this changeset into an embedded 
release - something like [8u26]

That would make it easier to produce a list of changesets.

Thoughts?
