Backport is not clean because it required adapting `make/lib/Awt2dLibraries.gmk` to fit JDK11.

This is because JDK11 is missing [JDK-8319197](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8319197) that excludes hb-subset from compilation, so this is also included as the second commit in the pull request.

Thanks for the review!

The intention was to make `Awt2dLibraries.gmk` more similar to the one in JDK-17 (which has had significant changes during the years), with the intention to make future backports easier (at the cost of a more difficult review), hence the reordering and the indentation.

So I've re-arranged the changes to make them more similar to the original `Awt2dLibraries.gmk` in 11. Hope this makes it easier to review. Note the `attributes` is required for `gcc.4.8.5`.

Retested with:

-   gcc 4.8.5/harfbuzz-1.7.5 (x86_64),
-   and gcc 14.2.1/harfbuzz-9.0.0 (x86_64)
