I have carefully reviewed all PR comments, and the changes I made in response 
to them. I believe I have resolved all requests from reviewers. What remained 
to do was to create an informational JEP about the new source structure, and 
file some follow-up issues.

I have now created and submitted a new informational JEP ("JDK Source 
Structure"), available at https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8283227. 
When creating this JEP, it felt increasingly silly to just copy and extend the 
part about src/$MODULE from JEP 201, so I extended it to cover a relevant 
overview of the entire JDK source base structure. I actually think this JEP has 
a good merit on its own, notwithstanding it being a reviewer requirement for 
this PR.

I have also filed follow up issues for the non-standard jdk.hotspot.agent `doc` 
and `test` directories (https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8283197 and 
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8283198, respectively).

I have filed a follow up issue for continued efforts to clean up 
charsetmapping, https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8283228.

There were two open questions:

 * should jdwp.spec belong to specs directory instead of data
 * should bin/idea.sh be changed to exclude data

but they sounded so exploratory that I decided not to open JBS issues for them.

@wangweij  @naotoj  @prrace  @erikj79 @jonathan-gibbons  You have all approved 
this PR at an older revision. Can you please reconfirm that your approval 
stands for the latest revision? (Sorry for the mass ping)
