OpenJFX status update

[Kevin Rushforth]

I was somewhat imprecise. That should have read:

The JavaFX version is still 11 as reported by the value of the system 
property "javafx.version" and in the names of the release bundles. No 
changes are needed. We are just prefixing the release value in JBS with 
"openjfx" before the "11" to distinguish it from the JDK 11 release.

After JavaFX 11, we could have a discussion on whether to make the next 
version "12" or something else.
