Description
Once the netscape.javascript package has moved to its own module -- JDK-8132743 -- we need to remove the dependency from javafx.web on jdk.plugin and instead depend on the new module.

I split the resolution of the build time dependency on plugin.jar out into a separate JIRA, JDK-8151634. This JIRA (JDK-8132744) will track removing the runtime dependency on jdk.plugin, using the new jdk.jsobject module instead.
10-03-2016
The proposed name for the new module containing the netscape.javascript package is "jdk.jsobject". Given that OpenJDK builds which include OpenJFX can't run right now anyway, I can implement the "stub" portion of this JIRA without waiting for the jdk.jsobject changes to go into JDK 9 (and from there into the JDK jigsaw/jake forest). This will make it easier to coordinate the remaining changes in FX and JDK. The change to javafx.web/module-info.java will then be done at the same time the new module is available in the JDK jake repo (this final part of the change will need to be coordinated).

As part of this we need a compile-time "stub" for the netscape.javascript package that the web module can use, so that we will no longer need plugin.jar from the bootjdk to compile OpenJFX.
