building static libs for ios/android

[Johan Vos]

Hi,

I created a PR that brings in the remaining changes needed to compile an
image containing the static JDK libs (not the VM libs) for ios/android:
https://github.com/openjdk/mobile/pull/20

As a major improvement, this PR also adds ios/android build scripts for GA
(thanks to Abhinay Agarwal for doing this). As a consequence, we will
immediately notice if an upstream commit (in openjdk/jdk) is breaking the
build for the mobile static libs.

In a previous message, I suggested a separate branch would be my preference
for doing development work. However, there are 2 reasons why I prefer this
PR to go into the main branch:
1. it seems I don't have permission to create new branches
2. there is at least 1 major embarrassing bug in the current main branch
(fi instead of endif) hence an improvement sounds appropriate.

Slightly related: the auto-merge operation by the skara bot had 2 merge
conflicts recently, due to changes in the upstream make directories. I
fixed the conflicts, and while I didn't look in the details yet, it seems
Magnus is doing simplifications in openjdk/jdk that are also simplifying
some of the build logic for mobile. That is great, thanks for that!
