RFR: JDK-8150257 Remove softfloat lib support

[Gary Adams]

As far as I know the only build that uses the sflt libs is the legacy armv5 linux systems.

http://closedjdk.us.oracle.com/ejdk9/dev/closed/file/a2055fab159f/bin/build-embedded.csh#l331
...
   # ARMv5t, non-thumb, soft-float emulation, soft-float ABI
   case linux-arm-sflt:
     set JVM_VARIANT = "--with-jvm-variants=client,minimal1"
     set DEVKIT = --with-devkit=$TOOLKIT_ROOT/gcc/linux/arm/arm-linaro-4.7
     set X11KIT = --with-x=$TOOLKIT_ROOT/gcc/linux/arm/arm-linaro-4.7/arm-linux-gnueabi/libc/usr/X11R6
     set SFLT_LIB_PATH = --with-sflt-lib-path=$TOOLKIT_ROOT/gcc/linux/arm/ext
     set CROSS_COMPILE_ARCH = --openjdk-target=arm-linux-gnueabi
     set ABI_PROFILE = --with-abi-profile=arm-sflt
     breaksw
