Add relaunchers to the static JDK image for missing executables

XMLWordPrintable

      In the static JDK image, a single humongous java executable is generated, and no other launcher, such as javac. This makes it impossible to run our jtreg tests, which assume these are present.

      The solution is fortunately simply: we just need to add a bunch of trivial launchers, which are thin wrappers that execute the main java binary, with the proper arguments. This will result in the same behavior as the normal dynamic launchers, only that we will need to take the detour of launching another process instead of calling directly into the JLI library.
