Steps towards integrating Kulla into JDK9

[Jan Lahoda]

I did a very rudimentary integration of jdk.eval into the make build. 
For now, the location of jline needs to be passed to make when building 
like this:
make JLINE2LIB=<jline.jar> images

There is also a new launcher "jshell" ($JDK_IMAGE/bin/jshell) that 
starts the repl. I only tested on Linux so far, and suspect it won't 
work on Windows.
