JDK 22

Description
The FFI tests use symbol lookup to find functions like "malloc" and "free".
LINKER.defaultLookup() doesn't find them (NativeTestHelper.java). AIX specific handling of required symbols is needed.

Suchi has added some explanations to the PR. He doesn't have an OpenJDK user, yet. And I'm not familiar enough with it.

Please explain the underlying issue and why/how AIX works differently to the other platforms. Thanks

The test/jdk/java/foreign tests can run after this is fixed (https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/pull/16414) and with the solution of JDK-8318175, there are only the 5 of 96 tests failing due to other problems: java/foreign/TestUpcallAsync.java java/foreign/enablenativeaccess/TestEnableNativeAccess.java java/foreign/enablenativeaccess/TestEnableNativeAccessJarManifest.java java/foreign/loaderLookup/TestLoaderLookupJNI.java java/foreign/stackwalk/TestAsyncStackWalk.java#default_gc They are separate issues.
