RFR: JDK-8154070: Configuration script unable to detect boot JDK's modules support

[Erik Joelsson]

It's the exact same change I just did in that file in jake so should 
merge fine. Luckily the format -Xpatch:foo=bar is already accepted in 
JDK 9 for the purpose needed here. I don't want to wait with this patch 
as it's needed for other work.
