Remove xcode switch path commands from build scripts

[Haroon-Khel]

Ref https://adoptium.slack.com/archives/C09NW3L2J/p1646743526526249

From the above slack thread, it was determined that a full switch path, /Applications/Xcode.app, can be used for JDK11. Since it is already being used for 8 and 17+, It will be made the default switch path on our build machines via the playbooks (pr incoming). Therefore these commands will not be needed in the build scripts

LGTM But please make sure the default is set correctly on all build machines before this is merged :-)

@sxa Done. And I dont seem to have permissions to merge this. Could you give me permissions, or could you merge this please. Thanks

jdk8u build

configure: error: Xcode 6, 9-12 is required to build JDK 8, the version found was 13.2.1. Use --with-xcode-path to specify the location of Xcode or make Xcode active by using xcode-select.

(Adjusted comment) @gdams is the github checks running in a completely differnet environment from the machies we have in jenkins in a way that this doesn't work for? Can we pre-select a default compiler in that environment?

Yeah I've just pushed a commit

Looks like the JDK11u build is genuinely broken after switching:

checking size of int *... 0
configure: error: Cannot continue.
configure: The tested number of bits in the target (0) differs from the number of bits expected to be found in the target (64)
configure exiting with result code 1

@gdams I was able to build jdk11 hotspot on build-macstadium-macos1014-x64-2 using the full xcode-select switch path

bash-3.2$ xcode-select --print-path
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer

The build did not hit the same error as the github workflow

checking for stdio.h... (cached) yes
checking size of int *... 8
checking for target address size... 64 bits

this has been stale for over a year, converting to "draft", if no longer needed please close.
