Bug #15676	src/lib-nodist directory missing from /J package breaks out-of-box build

Description:
The Connector/J JAR is not possible to build out of the box because the directory src/lib-nodist is missing.  There is no documentation I have come across explaning that you should create this directory before building the driver JAR.

build.xml:171 has an exclude for the content of **/lib-nodist/*, this might cause the directory to be omitted from the final archive.

How to repeat:
Extract the original package and try to execute ANT on it.

Suggested fix:
Ensure the empty directory exists within the distributed package, maybe a dummy file needs to exist in the directory to ensure empty directories aren't pruned.

<exclude name="**/lib-nodist/*"/>
<include name="**/lib-nodist/dummyfile"/>
