Andrew John Hughes 4ec83bb3a6 Sync with upcoming java-21-openjdk package in RHEL
- Update documentation (README.md, add missing JEP to release notes)
- Replace alt-java patch with a binary separate from the JDK
- Drop stale patches that are of little use any more:
- * nss.cfg has been disabled since early PKCS11 work and long superseded by FIPS work
- * No accessibility subpackage to warrant RH1648242 patch any more
- * No use of system libjpeg turbo to warrant RH649512 patch any more
- Replace RH1684077 pcsc-lite-libs patch with better JDK-8009550 fix being upstreamed
- Update generate_tarball.sh to sync with upstream vanilla script
- Change top_level_dir_name to use the VCS tag, matching new upstream release style tarball
- Use upstream release URL for OpenJDK source
- Port misc tarball from RHEL to house alt-java outside the JDK tree
- Port improved tarball creation and checking from RHEL so tarballs are verified
