JDK-6713428 - unneeded entries in the RemoveFile table
Description
As a result of the 6u7->6u10 merge, some files were added to the RemoveFile table as MODE 3:

INSTALLDIRDistributionREADME
INSTALLDIRENTITLEMENT
INSTALLDIRPerpetual_Entitlements

which means they will get removed both during install and uninstall.  They should only be removed during uninstall, so they should be of type 2.
Comments
EVALUATION The fix is to change the InstallMode of those RemoveFile entries to 2.
