RFR: 8207263: Store the Configuration for system modules into CDS archive

[Calvin Cheung]

Hi Jiangli,

The changes look good to me.

I have couple of minor comments:

1) vmSymbols.hpp

  653   template(url_void_signature,                     
"(Ljava/net/URL;)V")                                           \
  654   template(toFileURL_name,                         
"toFileURL")                                                   \
  655   template(toFileURL_signature,                    
"(Ljava/lang/String;)Ljava/net/URL;")

Since you've moved the above lines to after 
“template(systemModules_signature, …”, I’d suggest rearrange the entire 
block (lines 652 - 659) in alphabetical order.

2) CheckArchivedModuleApp.java

Since it now expects two input args, I’d suggest checking the number of 
input args and throw an exception if it is not equal to two.

thanks,
Calvin
