A long time ago, we supported different "variants" of the JDK build,
like "normal" and "embedded". The --with-jdk-variant and associated
machinery has been kept in place, even though it's not doing anyting.
Time to remove it.
I chose to keep the "-normal-" in the build output name so as not to
break any scripts. But I'm willing to change this if someone has a clear
opinion otherwise.
