- Bump zlib version to 1.3.2 following JDK-8378631

- Explictly define supported architectures
- Specify portablerelease and rpmrelease (always 0 for portables) in the Release field

- Change javadoc-zip to just own the top-level directory, not include the entire subtree
- Update tagged versions to include 9.8.0-z & 9.9.0.
- Cleanup tagging and gating scripts to appease shellcheck:
- * scripts/builds/build_vanilla.sh: Use an array to handle the varying arguments to rhpkg.
- * scripts/builds/check_signatures.sh: Quote variable usage.
- * scripts/builds/waive_issue.sh: Remove redundant 'test 'x'' usage.
- * scripts/builds/waive_leapp_issue.sh: Likewise.
- * scripts/builds/waive_rpminspect.sh: Likewise.
- * scripts/builds/waive_usual_rpminspect.sh: Likewise and add missing WORKING_DIR variable.
- * scripts/builds/waive_usual_tier0.sh: Remove redundant 'test 'x'' usage.
- Obsolete old RHEL releases (8.2.0-z, 9.0.0-z, 9.7.0-z)
- Sync the copy of the portable specfile with the latest update
- Sync portable naming with later JDKs, due to adoption of <compatiblename> by portable
- Drop <pversion> which is a redundant alias for version now
- Update tagging scripts to include signature checks and correctly handle gating
- Add gating scripts to simplify obtaining results and waiving issues
