RFR: 8345075: java.lang.module.ModuleDescriptor constructor could be made private

Tue Nov 26 21:00:56 UTC 2024

Please consider this cleanup PR which makes the now package-protected `ModuleDescriptor` constructor private.

This constructor is only accessed by the class itself via JavaLangModuleAccess. Making it private would express the intent of this class as being non-subclassable.

Marking this class final is handled separately in JDK-8344943 via a CSR.
