Updated webrev:

I did a further clean up and ModuleHashesBuilder now has one constructor.
Also updated the comment to avoid using the term “base”.  Due to the 
refactoring, I moved the location of the tmp jmod file to be in the
tmp directory rather than the same directory of the jmod file; 
otherwise, it would confuse the ModuleFinder with the tmp file.

I added a few more test cases that remind me that a packaged user 
module can’t tie with a specific JDK build since a module requiring 
a JDK module that would be a leaf node of the subgraph rather than 
that module.  The `jar` tool locating JMOD files on the module path 
allows to tie a modular JAR with a module requiring it but packaged
as JMOD file (e.g. with native library).

Also I wonder if we should use a term other than "base" for the modules that don't have references to other modules in the sub-graph (they are sort of leaf modules in the sub-graph).  A typo at L96 "in topological orders" -> "order”.
