RFR 8020802: Need an ability to create jar files that are invariant to the pack200 packing/unpacking

[Martin Buchholz]

I'm not convinced this feature pulls its weight.
I'd like to see more motivation/documentation for this change.
It seems like this just adds a post-processing phase which packs and
unpacks the jar file (why?)

Users who need to do that could just do that in a shell script without
confusing the 99.99% of current jar users.
