Proposed schedule for JavaFX 20

[Johan Vos]

There will be a new JavaFX 19 release with the security patches for 2023Q1
(scheduled Jan 17).
Typically, those maintenance releases contain a few selected backports from
the head version.
However, in this case it seems unlikely to me as JDK-8296654 is not
resolved.
Once resolved, that is something that could go in the LTS backports for 11
and 17.

Looking into JDK-8296654, I'm not sure I understand the issue, as the
builds we do are with XCode 12.4 so that should not cause problems?
