This patch changes the default devkit used to produce builds for Linux x64 at Oracle. The new devkit is based on GCC 7.3.0.

Webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~erikj/8200375/webrev.01/ What does the final part of gcc7.3.0-OEL6.4+1.0 refer to? It was 1.3 and is now 1.0. It's an internal version string for the devkit. I bump it when making changes that aren't changing the compiler or sysroot versions, like adding another library to the sysroot (e.g. libffi, freetype). I figured restarting it at 1.0 at times like this makes sense.
