[build] verify compiler env on windows
--------------------------------------

                 Key: HARMONY-5269
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HARMONY-5269
             Project: Harmony
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: build - test - ci
         Environment: windows
            Reporter: Alexey Varlamov
            Priority: Trivial


The build needs properly configured environment for native compilers, this usually requires extra step on Windows - running some scripts before invoking ant, etc. Even experienced RE engineers sometimes get confused with such issues, typical errors:
1) MSVC command prompt is not started;
2) cygwin's linker interferes (if it appears earlier in PATH);
3) Intel compiler needs specific environment, too.

I think it is possible to detect the cases above from within ant script, then it would be nice to output comprehensible diagnostics (and maybe abort the build).
