RFR: JDK-8180744: Update ct.sym for JDK 10

[Jan Lahoda]

Hi,

Thanks for the comments.

I've split the work into three parts:
-the change to PlatformProvider to return a file manager:
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~jlahoda/8180744/webrev.02/improve-platformprovider/
-the changes to support --release 9 (modular environment):
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~jlahoda/8180744/webrev.02/release-infrastructure/
-the update to the historical data:
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~jlahoda/8180744/webrev.02/release-data/

I was tried to limit the lengths of the lines.

There are other jdk.compiler packages already exported to jdk.jdeps. And 
the current implementation of jdeprscan is already depending on details 
of --release implementation in javac (that the improve-platformprovider 
patch is trying to improve and breaks jdeprscan, so this is an attempt 
to make it work again).
