Hi David,

I reworked the change in Shutdown class and uses jdk.internal.misc.VM to 
maintain the shutdown state, either in progress or shutdown (i.e. all 
shutdown hooks have been started).

What do you think this revised version:

Runtime::runFinalization is not called by the system code.  So it won't 
be invoked during startup and hence won't change the classloading order 
during startup.
