JDK-8344728 - ☂ Gradle build modernization
Description
Our gradle script checks if GTK, gthread, and xtst libraries are present early in the build process, and fails if one of them is missing. However, there's no checks for the GL or Xxf86vm packages, and so the build simply fails when compiling Prism:

:graphics:linkLinuxPrismES2
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lXxf86vm
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lGL
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
:graphics:linkLinuxPrismES2 FAILED

We need to check for the presence of the packages earlier in the build process.
