Bug#925928: tomcat9: Error occurred during initialization of VM: Option -XX:+UseG1GC not supported

11. Apparently, the option is not available in the Zero VM,
only in Hotspot (didn’t check DCE, JamVM, etc).

But the manpage says that a suitable GC is nowadays picked
automatically anyway, so we don’t lose if we drop this.

Do any release architectures _not_ have Hotspot available?
(mips comes to mind.) If so, this is RC; if not, this can
very well wait until after the release (as you expressed
a desire to not change the config files at the moment).
