Compressing class files in the module library

I've updated the patch [1] for the compression support to also add an
option to strip the debug attributes from classes when installing a
module. This time the proposed option is -G and --strip-debug and it's
an option on jmod install so it's on a per module basis (to allow for
debugging of application modules that are installed into the same module
library as modules that don't have debug attributes). For now the
implementation uses pack200 so it's makes -G a bit more expensive than
it should be. This is easily changed in the future if we have a general
class reader/write in the platform.
