The 'foreign' part of Panama is now located on GitHub

[Jorn Vernee]

Hi Ty,

The branch names are the same as in the mercurial repo, other than that 
the 'default' branch is called 'master' with Git.

The branch that has all the new things is foreign-jextract. 'master' is 
more or less just a mirror of jdk/jdk [1]. The dependencies between the 
branches are: master <- foreign-memaccess <- foreign-abi <- 
foreign-jextract. The 'foreign' branch contains the old API (Pointer<>, 
Struct<>), which is not currently being worked on.
