Manually select JDK outside /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines on macOS

32bc8ddbf335dd26019edcf12758643b4cff9913 "tdf#94716 allow Oracle's JDK to be
used on OS X 10.10 and 10.11" had restricted both addJavaInfosDirScan
(jvmfwk/plugins/sunmajor/pluginlib/util.cxx, relevant when LO scans for
available Java runtimes) and JvmfwkUtil_isLoadableJVM (which is more central and
also relevant when manually adding a Java installation on the Advanced options
page) to JDK installations under /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines.

Recent versions of OpenJDK for macOS are provided as *.tar.gz files (e.g.,
<https://download.java.net/java/GA/jdk15/779bf45e88a44cbd9ea6621d33e33db1/36/GPL
/openjdk-15_osx-x64_bin.tar.gz> avaiable at <http://jdk.java.net/15/>) that can
potentially be installed anywhere, so it looks useful to remove the
/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines restriction from JvmfwkUtil_isLoadableJVM.

I'm not sure whether that would have any nagative impact, esp. for any scenario
that would still be relevant today.  When I unpacked the above
openjdk-15_osx-x64_bin.tar.gz to ~/OpenJDK/ on my macOS 10.15.6, and manually
added /Users/stephan/OpenJDK/jdk-15.jdk/Contents/Home on the Advanced options
page, everything appeared to work fine.
