This shows the old and new value of OS_NAME/OS_ARCH properties
in the `release` file:
JDK 8 JDK 9
----- -----
OS_NAME Linux linux
SunOS solaris
Darwin osx
Windows windows
OS_ARCH i386,x86 x86
i586,amd64,x86_64 x64
sparcv9 sparcv9
arm arm32
aarch64 arm64
I suggest we use "amd64" instead of "x64" (or any other variants).
"x64" is confusingly close to "x86", and while it's used by some
companies (including Oracle), it's not used all that widely. "amd64" is
better known, matches the long-standing value of the "os.arch" system
property (on Linux and Windows, anyway) and, as a side benefit, honors
the originators of the architecture.

I am not sure why we would change to osx for Mac when the Mac developers
have recently dropped the Mac OS X terminology and changed it to macOS.
