Bump the remotejdk_21 pins from Zulu 21.46.19 (OpenJDK 21.0.9) to Zulu 21.52.15 (OpenJDK 21.0.12) for all six platforms.

Zulu 21.0.9 lacks the backport of JDK-8341779 (reading type-use annotations on type-variable bounds from class files). This makes recent Error Prone report false positives such as
NullArgumentForNonNullParameter on documented Guava API usage, e.g. Iterables.getFirst(iterable, null), when compiling with the Java 21 toolchain; see google/error-prone#5436 for the analysis by the Error Prone maintainers.

Note that Azul changed the layout of the macOS tar.gz archives after 21.0.9: they now contain a macOS application bundle with the JDK under Contents/Home instead of a flat JDK image (the Zulu 25 macOS archives are still flat). The strip_prefix of the two macOS entries therefore descends into Contents/Home.

SHA-256 checksums are taken from the Azul metadata API; the linux_x64 and macosx_x64 artifacts were additionally downloaded and verified locally.

Fixes #369

Bump the remotejdk_21 pins from Zulu 21.46.19 (OpenJDK 21.0.9) to
Zulu 21.52.15 (OpenJDK 21.0.12) for all six platforms.

Zulu 21.0.9 lacks the backport of JDK-8341779 (reading type-use
annotations on type-variable bounds from class files). This makes
recent Error Prone report false positives such as
NullArgumentForNonNullParameter on documented Guava API usage, e.g.
Iterables.getFirst(iterable, null), when compiling with the Java 21
toolchain; see google/error-prone#5436 for the analysis by the
Error Prone maintainers.

The release is bumped in java/bazel/repositories_util.bzl and the
config list regenerated with java/bazel:dump_remote_jdk_configs, as
prescribed by the header of the generated list.

Note that Azul changed the layout of the macOS tar.gz archives after
21.0.9: they now contain a macOS application bundle with the JDK
under Contents/Home instead of a flat JDK image (the Zulu 25 macOS
archives are still flat). This is expressed as two entries in
_STRIP_PREFIX_OVERRIDES; without them a plain version bump breaks
the macOS toolchains.

Fixes bazelbuild#369

fwiw, it seems like this was always the case, but there used to be bin,lib, etc symlinks from the root dir into Contents/Home which are not present in the new release.

I'm working on a fix the failing test to support this new release

Instead of looking at just the top level directory, we find the first '/bin' directory (or symlink).

Context from #370
