When we bumped the feature version from 10 to 11, we forgot to also update the required versions of the boot and build jdk. This is an easy mistake to do, so we should make sure it is easy and intuitive to do the update at the same time as updating the version number.

We didn't forget to do it at all! It isn't yet possible to update the Boot JDK as you note below so it was left alone.

As for the Build JDK ... I don't know what that is defined to be ??

This patch changes the check for build jdk to simply compare with the current VERSIONFEATURE. This should always be the correct requirement.

The check for boot jdk is a bit more complicated. I initially thought we could calculate it automatically from VERSIONFEATURE-1, but until that version is actually released, we need to also allow VERSIONFEATURE-2. Because of this we will still require manual updating of this setting over time. So instead I moved the set of acceptable boot JDK versions to the versionnumbers file. This should make it easy enough to spot and update when changing the DEFAULTVERSIONFEATURE value. I also updated the build documentation regarding boot JDKs to explain temporary N-2 situation. While at it, I also updated the part about where to get JDK binaries since you can now download OpenJDK builds directly from jdk.java.net.
