RFR: 8258499: JavaFX: Move src.zip out of the lib directory

[Eric Bresie]

Was reading https://stackoverflow.com/questions/29258944/where-is-the-src-zip-for-jdk8u40 on location on sec.zip and they had in similar layout for JDK and Java-Jax locations. Assume as long as jfx isn’t loaded at the same location as JDK (which since it’s a separate project now) this shouldn’t be a problem.

If a developer adds the `lib` directory to their application's module path in the IDE, it will try to load `src.zip` as if it were a jar file, and will fail. This is a pain point for developers using the SDK.
