[tlbuild] Solaris 11 SPARC Support [SEC=UNOFFICIAL]

[Johannes Hielscher]

Hi Adrian,


according to the TL Guide [0], TeXLive 2018 was the last release to
officially ship the sparc-solaris platform. You can access the history
of the TeXLive project via [1]. Nelson Beebe's otherwise incredibly
prolific contribution to the TL pretest campaign [2] at least contains
Debian Linux builds for SPARC CPUs. A first entry point of the TL
project to Solaris is provided by [3].


Best,
Johannes
