Review Request JDK-8177844: Ensure non-upgradeable modules cannot be upgraded even with --patch-module

No change in that regards.  The updated test [1] in the webrev shows it patches java.base/jdk.internal.modules.SystemModules

Before this fix, you can do —patch-module jdk.internal.vm.compiler=.jar —upgrade-module-path graal.jar. The reason is that —patch-module disables the hash checking that makes non-upgradeable module upgradeable.  After this fix, it fails if you attempt upgrade a patched non-upgradeable module.
