ICU-22714 fix zos build, use OpenXL

[alexgubanow]

I have fixed the git clone of this repo on zos and moved build from old XLc compiler to new OpenXL compiler. More details https://unicode-org.atlassian.net/browse/ICU-22714 As of now:

• tests are passing, some issues with files not being UTF-8 on zos, will address that in separate PR
• results of build was tested internally, we have own test suite
• following files had no BOM, need to fix tool that is used to generate those: icu4c/source/data/misc/currencyNumericCodes.txt icu4c/source/data/misc/icustd.txt icu4c/source/data/misc/zoneinfo64.txt

lots of good deletion here!

For the BOMs, would it make sense just to fix them up with a build step?

OpenXL is basically clang, that allowed me to get rid of many "OS390 only" code and tricks. Actually i have found one bug in OpenXL v2.1, it fails to generate correct name for sidedeck if output path is relative and library name has no suffix, for output library path like: ../../lib/LICU76DA openxl v2.1 linker will generate ..x name of sidedeck Fix for that, is already implemented, but no idea when it will be released by IBM, so i made a workaround, added "-Wl,[email protected]" to linker command, so linker do not guess the name of sidedeck and no bug occur

I have added BOM fix in build time generated index files, also made sure those generated as UTF-8.

But regarding this files: icu4c/source/data/misc/currencyNumericCodes.txt icu4c/source/data/misc/icustd.txt icu4c/source/data/misc/zoneinfo64.txt i don't know when/who and how updates/generates it. Maybe you guys can guide me there? also i would suggest to do it in separate ticket/PR

I had to rebase in order to make a newer CI check work. Now we find out if it still works with the latest checks, even pre-merge...
