[windows] Incorrect location of src.zip (should be lib/src.zip, is <root>/src.zip) when installed from an installer

        According to JDK-8169816 and JDK-8170428, "src.zip" should be under the "lib" directory, i.e. "$JDK_INSTALL_DIR/lib/src.zip". That is true when JDK is built from source, but when JDK is installed on Windows using an installer, the src.zip is under "$JDK_INSTALL_DIR/src.zip".

        I tested with an Windows x64 JDK exe installer 9 build 163 from:
        https://jdk9.java.net/download/

         This is causing problems at least to jshell, which cannot find the source and hence cannot show javadoc is requested.
