RFR: JDK-8187681: Compiling for target 9 while also using --patch-module

[Maurizio Cimadamore]

Whoops - hit send too fast - wanted to ask a question; do you also plan 
to remove similar restriction for -source ? I've hit that a couple of 
times, and currently this restriction is preventing me from running 
langtools tests on a patched compiler; that is, I can patch the VM to 
run the tests and that works, but I can't pass same set of patches to 
the javac used by jtreg, as that will result in errors whenever a test 
has e.g. -source 8 flag set.
