RFR Backport: 8078024: javac, several incorporation steps are silently failing when an error should be reported

[Hohensee, Paul]

Looks good, but please preserve the original metadata. Use an importable patch generated using "hg export --git -r 2890" on the jdk9u/langtools repo http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk-updates/jdk9u/langtools/ as the basis for your patch. Modify it as you've done in your webrev, import it using "hg import", then use "webrev -c 8078024" to generate a webrev.

Thanks,
Paul

    Hi all,

    Can I get a review on this one please? This is backport of a fix made for JDK9. The src/ part of the original patch applies cleanly, in the test/ part some contextual changes were necessary. I've also updated a copyright.

    This fix improves compilation situation for one of our clients while their project compiles with JDK11 but fails to compile with JDK8.
    Thanks!
