Description
This issue proposes to bump the minimum boot JDK to jdk-11+NN once the JDK 11 GA has been released.

Note that this will *not* change the 'sourceCompatibility' in gradle, which will remain at 10. That can be changed later.

We already use jdk-11 (EA build 27 or 28) to build and test openjfx 11 and openjfx 12. The Travis and Appveyor builds on the GitHub sandbox still use 10, but there is a GitHub issue in progress to fix this -- https://github.com/javafxports/openjdk-jfx/issues/159

Making JDK 11 the minimum will allow us to remove obsolete code in javafx.swing that requires qualified exports, and eliminate the need to bundle the Microsoft redistributable DLL files.

We can file follow-on issues, linked as "blocked by" this issue, to: 1. Stop redistributing Microsoft DLLs (JDK-8210089 ) 2. Remove old javafx.swing implementation (JDK-8210092) 3. Build with --source 11 and --target 11 (JDK-8210093)

This is in progress, but is waiting for two things: 1. The fix for JDK-8209967 to bump the minimum gradle version to 4.8 (under review) 2. The final GA release of JDK 11 (scheduled for 2018-09-25)

Note that this issue requires bumping the minimum version of gradle to 4.8 (JDK-8209967), which is the version currently in use, and also requires changing the Appveyor and Travis builds on GitHub to use JDK 11 to build (so the test builds don't break ( https://github.com/javafxports/openjdk-jfx/issues/159 ).
