RFR: 8343493: Perform module checks during MetaspaceShared::map_archives()

Currently, `Modules::serialize()` and `Modules::serialize_addmods_names()` store/retrieve the main module name, as well as the set of modules specified by `--add-modules`. These functions are called from `MetaspaceShared::serialize()`, *after* the JVM has decided to use the CDS archive.

However, with JEP 483 ([JDK-8315737](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8315737)), we need the module information *before* deciding whether to use the CDS archive. For example, if `-XX:+AOTClassLinking` is specified during the CDS archive creation, the archive cannot be used if we specified an incompatible main module at runtime.

This RFE added a new function, `MetaspaceShared::early_serialize()`, which is called from `MetaspaceShared::map_archives()`. `Modules::serialize()` and `Modules::serialize_addmods_names()` are called within this context so that we can use the module information to decide whether to use the CDS archive or not.

I also added some comments about what "serialize" does, since it's rather non-obvious.
