    Description

      The file boot-jdk.m4 is in charge of locating and verifying the Boot JDK.

      This bug covers several independent fixes of that file:
      * Document the logic of how we discover a suitable Boot JDK.
      * Update to allow building with JDK 9.
      * Improve detection on macosx by preferring the official method.
      * Allow overriding of individual tools normally found in the Boot JDK (e.g. JAVA, JAVAC)
      * Update list of tools: RMIC is not used anymore, JARSIGNER was not tested for properly.
