ModuleDescriptor#toString(Set<>, String) may produce unexpected results.

Hi all,

the ModuleDescriptor#toString(Set<>, String) method uses
String#toLowerCase() in the line 2607 without specifying a locale. And
this may lead to unexpected results when you start the JVM for example
with the Turkish locale. This can be fixed by using
String#toLowerCase(Locale) with Locale.ROOT as the argument.

The suggested change is attached as diff.

Best regards,
Andrej Golovnin
