I am working on an upgrade of JLine inside the `jdk.internal.le` module, and I would like to replace the current native bindings with FFM-based bindings (which are now somewhat provided by JLine). But, for that, native access is needed for the `jdk.internal.le` module. We could possibly move the module to the platform ClassLoader, but it seems it might be better to have more control over which modules have the native access.

Build changes look good.
