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.

The paragraph about "ios has no writeable and executable sections" is technically not 100% correct, but since this is an informal README to inform developers, I am ok with the current text (and, TBH, I find it hard to come up with the correct wording).
