JDK-8218547 - Simplify JLI_Open on Windows in native code (libjli)
Description
Currently in parse_manifest.c only `open` is called, which does not always support extended-length paths.
In case `open` fails, use `CreateFileW` with "\\?\" prefix to avoid the limitation.

Current status JDK11u backport: There were issues with the (Windows) build with the patch as is (that cleanly applies). Seems that the patch would need JDK-8210729 and 8210919 as prerequisite. Both seem to be good cleanups in the build system so I'm currently trying to see if everything is green without regressions when those two fixes are taken as well.

It seems this backport was forgotten. Please see if it needs to be pushed to 11u?

Fix Request I would like to have the extended path handling as well in jdk11, because on Windows the same problem exists in jdk11 as well. The patch applies cleanly.
