Re-Spin of OpenJDK/SapMachine 11.0.9 release

Update

After OpenJDK released update version 11.0.9 on 20th of October, SapMachine engineers have discovered a regression that could cause crashes under certain circumstances. It turned out that a fix that already existed in higher releases was missing (JDK-8250861).

We initiated a re-spin of the OpenJDK October update that goes by version number 11.0.9.1.

A corresponding SapMachine 11.0.9.1 has been released as well, containing further fixes:

• JDK-8255603: Memory/Performance regression after JDK-8210985
• SapMachine #756: Fix SapMachine Icon on MacOSX
• SapMachine #746: Vitals: show global number of processes and tasks

This could be relevant for several SAP products such as SAP Hybris etc. or if you’re running Java Workloads on SAP Cloud Platform.

Additional Context

All major downstream distributions, e.g. Oracle JDK, Amazon Corretto, Azul Zulu, BellSoft OpenJDK and AdoptOpenJDK derive from this project. SAP is engaging heavily in this project and is amongst the top 3 contributors.
