Description
Steps to reproduce:

1. Install 6u10-beta
2. Install 6u11-fcs
3. It will try and patch the 6u10-beta jre image, but it will get a patcher error (because it's expecting 6u10-fcs)

We'll need some way of detecting if an installed release is non-fcs, and tell the user to uninstall it before upgrading.

SUGGESTED FIX Created IsPatchable() and supporting code (IsVersionUpdateable()) to return true only if cksum for version installed and patched version match. Uses a new $(ALT_BASE_IMAGE_DIR}/cksum_jre1.6.0_10 file that the build scripts will create from patch_images.zip when it creates the $(ALT_BASE_IMAGE_DIR}/jre1.6.0_10/ directory. webrev: http://sa.sfbay.sun.com/projects/deployment_data/6u11/6709081.2 testcases: http://oklahoma.east.sun.com/deployment/www/tests/1.6.0_11/6709081/testcase.txt
