>> Please review this simple fix to `jlink`'s `--release-info` plugin to handle non-ASCII in vendor strings. The JDK build uses UTF-8 encoding for the produced `release` file that is being passed to `jlink` at build-time via the `--release-info` plugin. However, the plugin internally uses `java.util.Properties.load(InputStream)` API which assumes `ISO-8859-1` encoding of the input stream. The proposed fix is to use the `java.util.Prorperties.load(Reader)` API instead and pass it a `Reader` with `UTF-8` encoding (using nio API).
