RFR: 8259039: Passing different version to --release flag than javac version output warning

For code like:

com.sun.nio.file.ExtendedOpenOption o;


certain combination of command line options produce a proprietary warnings:

$ javac --release 11 T.java 
T.java:2: warning: ExtendedOpenOption is internal proprietary API and may be removed in a future release
    com.sun.nio.file.ExtendedOpenOption o;
                    ^
1 warning


But some do not:

$ javac -source 8 T.java 
warning: [options] bootstrap class path not set in conjunction with -source 8
1 warning


The reason is that the `ct.properties` files does not mark `com.sun.nio.file` as proprietary. The proposed fix has two parts:
-adds `proprietary` to the `com.sun.nio.file` package in `ct.properties`
-limits the `ct.properties` so that it is only used for `-source 8`. The `ct.properties` contains 3 types of information: it hides some packages, it marks some packages as "proprietary" (so that they produce the warning), and assigns packages to compact profiles. For `-source 9+`, most of these is not needed - packages are hidden using the module system, the only packages that need a warning are from the `jdk.unsupported` module, and there are no compact profiles. So for `-source 9+`, we don't need to use the `ct.properties`. (Note none of this applies to `--release` - it uses a different database.)
