Hello,

Please review this change to the new build number implementation in project Verona. This change is intended to go into the Verona forest for now until it's time for integration into jdk9.

By definition, the way to determine from the version string if a release is a GA release or a pre-release is to check if the PRE string is empty. If it is empty, it's a GA release, otherwise it's not. While this is logical from a theoretical point of view, it is not immediately obvious to developers. One place in the OpenJDK where such a check is done is make/Javadoc.gmk.

In this patch, a new make variable is introduced: VERSION_IS_GA, which can be either true or false.
