Fixed 6722084: JPRT make file doesn't create required symbolic link to libjvm.so

Problem:
There are several annoying Nightly testing failures which
nobody fixing for years. Caused by hotspot JPRT build bundles
have normal .so libraries instead of symbolic links as in JDK.

Solution:
The fix suggested by Kelly very simple: use -y zip option
to preserve symbolic links.
I also fixed incorrect installation of libjsig.so
in JPRT build bundles which put it into client/server
subdirectories.
