Replace static lists of Java source files with invocations of find

      Our build system relies on explicit lists of Java source files: The dreaded
      FILES_java.gmk. These files are tedious to maintain, they're often incorrect,
      and they're a common source of problems for developers new to our build system.

      Once upon a time, back in the dark days of the nmake build on Windows, there
      was actually a good reason for using these files. That time is, thankfully,
      long past. We should rewrite our makefiles to discover Java source files
      dynamically during the build process, using the find tool.
