JDK build fails on missing javah

[Nir Lisker]

I've gotten a reply from build-dev at openjdk.java.net (
http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/build-dev/2018-January/020552.html).
The check for javah will be removed in the future. For now we have to use 9
as boot JDK:

--with-boot-jdk='C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-9\'
