RFR: 8146364: Remove @ServiceProvider mechanism from JVMCI

[Doug Simon]

Doh! This was a result of pilot error when transplanting patches from graal-jvmci-9. I left out:

http://hg.openjdk.java.net/graal/graal-jvmci-9/hotspot/rev/2390bc159b77

The behavior I saw was not that the META-INF files overwrote each other. Instead, they were ignored completely.

I’ve updated http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~dnsimon/8146364/hotspot/ now.
