Review Request JDK-8169925: Organize licenses by module in source, JMOD file, and run-time image

[Erik Joelsson]

Hello Mandy,

In autoconf you are also adding a "man" dir, is this intended with this 
change?

In make/InterimImage.gmk, -J-Djlink.debug=true looks like left over 
debug code.

make/CreateJmods.gmk: 83-84, please indent 4 spaces for continuation.

make/Main.gmk: You should not add the dependency there. Instead, add 
"$(JMOD_TARGETS): java.base-copy" around line 661.

Copy-java.base.gmk: 246, please finish these kinds of lists with a # 
indented to the same level as the list of values.

/Erik
