In this first step `java.base`, `java.deskop`, `jdk.accessibility` and `jdk.jpackage` are left out, since they require more work. The changes in the remaining modules are trivial by comparison.

Note that this change will affect the resulting binaries (since the order libraries are given are stored in the binary), but this change should only be superficial. (If we have symbol clashes between libraries, then we have problems on a whole other level...).

>> This PR will be followed up by invidual PRs for the modules requiring not jsut trivial cleanup (`java.base`, `java.deskop`, `jdk.accessibility` and `jdk.jpackage`), and a PR which will unify `JDK_LIB` handling across platforms, and automatically apply proper dependencies.
