RFR: JDK-8058631 Rename posix to unix in build system to match file name changes

[Volker Simonis]

Hi Magnus,

I've looked at the change and I think it looks good.
For any case I've also run an AIX build with your change applied and
didn't encounter any problems.
So thumbs up from me!

Regards,
Volker

PS: how did you produce a webrev from two repositories - do you have a
special version of webrev?
And what's the best way to import such a change into mercurial (apart
from 'patch'). I manually edited the patch file to make 'compatible'
with 'qimport' but maybe there's a better way?
