Review Request: 8029921: CDS should allow user specify their own classlist

[Jiangli Zhou]

Hi Coleen,

That sounds good to me. Thanks for the review and suggestion.

BTW, I plan to integrate this to JDK9, as JDK8 is closed for new 
features. Please let me know if there is any concern with that. I'm 
including the jdk9-dev mail list for this discussion.

Thanks,
Jiangli
