Update minimum boot JDK to 11

XMLWordPrintable

      This issue proposes to bump the minimum boot JDK to jdk-11+NN once the JDK 11 GA has been released.

      Note that this will *not* change the 'sourceCompatibility' in gradle, which will remain at 10. That can be changed later.

      We already use jdk-11 (EA build 27 or 28) to build and test openjfx 11 and openjfx 12. The Travis and Appveyor builds on the GitHub sandbox still use 10, but there is a GitHub issue in progress to fix this -- https://github.com/javafxports/openjdk-jfx/issues/159

      Making JDK 11 the minimum will allow us to remove obsolete code in javafx.swing that requires qualified exports, and eliminate the need to bundle the Microsoft redistributable DLL files.
