This patch changes how the dynamically generated lib/classlist is
packaged. We already create an interim-image from java.base and
java.logging to generate the classlist during the build. We then copy it
into the jdk and jre images using makefile logic after jlinking those
images. With this patch, lib/classlist is instead included in
java.base.jmod.
To achieve this, I have introduced the concept of interim jmods for the
jmods used to create the interim-image. These can be built explicitly
from the top level using targets <module>-interim-jmod. It adds a little
bit of build time, but it's hardly noticeable.
