My ModuleFinder for exploded-within-jar automatic modules needed a
ModuleReader implementation.

I decided to make that ModuleReader multi-release-aware. Like JarFile, it
inspects the manifest for the Multi-Release attribute and scans
META-INF/version directories accordingly.

Is it safe to assume that all access to content with a module happens
through the ModuleReader?
