various: Use zulu jdk builds for REQUIRES.
As noted in the FAQ, you can still use Oracle's JDK for
building or running, but we'll default to the Zulu builds
in the REQUIRES since they are easily downloadable.

Zulu is a good default for us at SBo since it is available
for both 32 and 64 bit, freely downloadable and compatible
and they provide builds for all the LTS branches.

We don't currently have builds for Adoptium (previously
AdoptOpenJDK, not part of the Eclipse Foundation), but if
someone wants to submit builds for them, we can include them
too. Note though that they do not provide 32 bit builds.

Software should run with either Zulu or Oracle's JDK, or
indeed any other builds of OpenJDK, so if I have broken your
build with this change, apologies. This should be rare and
we can change the REQUIRES back to jdkX in that case and note
it in the README, but I do not expect this should be the case.

VirtualBox Open Source Edition (OSE) is a general-purpose full
virtualizer for x86 hardware.
You have to create a vboxusers group, e.g. "groupadd -g 215 vboxusers"
and make your user a member of that group.
To enable the webservice pass WEBSERVICE=yes to the script. This will
require gsoap as optional dependency.
If you want to build the java bindings, pass JAVA=yes to the script.
This will require zulu-openjdk8 as optional dependency.
On x86_64, this by default builds without software virtualization. This
means you need hardware virtualization in order to run 32bit guests on
64bit hosts. To enable software virtualization, pass
SOFTWARE_VIRTUALIZATION=yes to the script. Note that this will require
a compiler that can generate 32bit code, and thus will not build on a
stock x86_64 system. This switch has no effect on x86 systems.
If you want to attach VirtualBox to a VDE network you will need vde2.
See README.SLACKWARE for some setup notes.
