Since Zero is, to my knowledge, the only valid HotSpot variant for iOS, this default should be handled by the build rather than require the developer to have specific knowledge about iOS and the mobile fork. I also took the opportunity to explicitly disallow selecting other JVM variants at all for iOS, this can be rolled back if my assumption turns out to be incorrect. While here, also touch up the build docs a little.

We can test for ifdefs by test compiling code, but it is not the most efficient way. Checking for `if [[ SYSROOT =~ .*Simulator.* ]]` seems simpler.
