Draft JPMS EDR specification

[Remi Forax]

Minor nit,
in the VM spec part, section 2.1, the attribute ModuleVersion is mentioned while it has disappeared
(the module version is now a field of the Module attribute).

I will modify ASM next week to be in sync with the spec, i do not expect any problems.

I still think that encoding a version for the requires inside the Module attribute is now a good idea (cf my previous message).

Happy Christmas everyone,
Rémi
