RFR [9] 8170859 : Run time and tool support for ModuleResolution

[Remi Forax]

Chris,
this patch is rather ugly.
Patching the ModuleDescriptor is not a good idea, maybe it's means that we need a system of metadata associated with a ModuleDescriptor,
the hash of a module (which is not part of the module spec but the OpenJDK implementation) can be also considered as metadata.

regards,
Rémi
