Some Platform feature.xml files still contribute incorrect, confusing update site URL's in the <discovery> tag.

This is a problem because due to bug 249133, those sites are contributed to the default list of sites to  search when Eclipse is installed shared. That may easily lead to failed updates, or at least confused users which pick a wrong update site to check.

It looks like with the Platform changes getting pom.xml in for CBI (like
bug 379747), now would be a good time to get rid of those incorrect tags. 

In fact most of the feature.xml files from Equinox and Platform have removed these already, except the following ones which are still broken in 4.2 RC1:

./org.eclipse.cvs.source_1.3.200
./org.eclipse.cvs_1.3.200
./org.eclipse.jdt.source_3.8.0
./org.eclipse.jdt_3.8.0
./org.eclipse.pde.source_3.8.0
./org.eclipse.pde_3.8.0

Could the broken tag please be cleaned from those.
