Accessing dependency version information

[Nicolai Parlog]

 Hi!

I think recording module version information is a really
underappreciated feature in Java 9+. The module's own version shows up
in many places, which I like. I think it could be added to `java
--show-module-resolution`, too.

It is much harder to access the versions of the dependencies against
which a module was compiled. I thought I'd like it when it showed up in
`jar --describe-module`, but I can see why "requires org.lib at 1.2" is too
easy to misinterpret.

Maybe another way could be found to make this information available on
the command line (i.e. without having to use `ModuleDeclaration`).

 so long ... Nicolai
