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.

README

VisUAL has been developed as a cross-platform tool to make learning ARM
Assembly language easier. In addition to emulating a subset of the ARM
UAL instruction set, it provides visualisations of key concepts unique
to assembly language programming and therefore helps make programming
ARM assembly more accessible.

It has been designed specifically to use as a teaching tool for the
Introduction to Computer Architecture course taught at the Department
of Electrical and Electronic Engineering of Imperial College London.
