Using java-locator we no longer have to specify JAVA_HOME for a build, it can be done only at runtime(and preferably letting the Java application set it itself), this also resolves the various issues with jdk-8/11 and the varying file locations that have changed over the years, as it will search for the root java dir, which gives directly access to the headers, and only then searches for the libjvm recursively in directories within the root dir.
I've added the libjvm's path to the RPATH, for tests, this does not propagate to rlibs, so is only relevant for the test binary.
