RFR: JDK-8275703: System.loadLibrary fails on Big Sur for libraries hidden from filesystem [v2]

> On, macOS 11.x, system libraries are loaded from dynamic linker cache.  The libraries are no longer present on the filesystem.   `NativeLibraries::loadLibrary` checks for the file existence before calling `JVM_LoadLibrary`.   Such check no longer applies on Big Sur.   This proposes that on macOS >= 11, it will skip the file existence check and attempt to load a library for each path from java.library.path and system library path.

Mandy Chung has updated the pull request incrementally with two additional commits since the last revision:

 - Adjust parsing os.version to handle no dot version in case it's allowed
 - Exclude building exeLibraryCache.c on other platforms except macOS
