Certain downstream consumers of the JDK need to link to parts of it
statically. To support this usecase, this patch adds a set of optional
make targets that produce static native libraries for a selection of
modules. These static libraries do not end up in the main JDK
distribution but are instead packaged in a separate bundle that can be
optionally overlayed on top of a JDK bundle. The new targets are only
built when requested and are not added as dependencies on any existing
target.

Looks good to me.
Hopefully we can make a follow-up fix to remove the current "static
libs" implementation that was needed by the Mobile project. This
implementation was a bit hackish from the start, and it has bit-rotted
severly, and might not even work right now. I'm eager to remove it, but
I don't want to break the Mobile build, so hopefully we can find some
way to adjust this new system to be usable by them, too.
