Stephan Bergmann 8ef01413f6 Remove support for 32-bit S390
As discussed in the mailing list thread starting at
<https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/libreoffice/2023-January/089808.html>
"Plan to remove dead C++ UNO bridge implementations (bridges/source/cpp_uno/*)",
the bridge implementation at bridges/source/cpp_uno/gcc3_linux_s390 is
apparently dead and should thus be removed.  However, that was the only bridge
implementation for 32-bit S390, which implies that support for the 32-bit S390
architecture as a whole is dead and should thus be removed.

JVM Framework Wrappers

Wrappers so you can use all the Java Runtime Environments with their slightly incompatible APIs with more ease.

Used to use an over-engineered "plugin" mechanism although there was only one "plugin", called "sunmajor", that handles all possible JREs.

IMPORTANT: The <updated> element in vmfwk/distributions/OpenOfficeorg/javavendors_*.xml files should only be updated for incompatible changes, not for compatible ones. As stated in the commit message of https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/c/69730/ in LibreOffice gerrit:

javavendors_*.xml <updated> should not have been updated...

Changing <updated> causes jfw_startVM and jfw_getSelectedJRE (both jvmfwk/source/framework.cxx) to fail with JFW_E_INVALID_SETTINGS, which in turn causes functionality that requires a JVM to issue a GUI error dialog stating that the user must select a new JRE in the Options dialog. While that behavior makes sense if a JRE was selected that would no longer be supported by the modified javavendors_*.xml, it is just annoying if an already selected JRE is still supported. And a compatible change to javavendors_*.xml implies that an already selected JRE will still be supported."
