[8u] RFA: 8196516: libfontmanager must be built with LDFLAGS allowing unresolved symbols

Hi,

Please approve this backport of JDK-8196516 which allows us to build
with linker flags like "-Wl,-z,defs" a potential default in future
Fedora versions. A fix for this is in JDK 11 and I've not heard of any
issues. The JDK 8 change has been reviewed again as the JDK 11 patch
didn't apply cleanly (post-path-unshuffeling).

Bug: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8196516
webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~sgehwolf/webrevs/JDK-8196516/webrev.jdk8/

RFR for JDK 8:

RFR for JDK 11:

Thanks,
Severin
