>> Please review this change set implementing [JEP 458](https://openjdk.org/jeps/458) "Launch Multi-File Source-Code Programs" by introducing a new entry-point `SourceLauncher` in package `com.sun.tools.javac.launcher` of module `jdk.compiler`. The code of the new entry-point and other new classes introduced by this pull request is based on the original implementation (now removed `Main.java` file). It extends it to dynamically resolve required types "on-the-fly" using an in-memory class loader capable to compile Java source files - applying a strict name-based pattern as described in the JEP.

These multi-file source-code programs can be launched via `java ${PROGRAM}` once this implementation is integrated; with `${PROGRAM}` being one of the following files:

Looks reasonable to me.
