Jigsaw delayed

[Richard Bair]

Actually we're going to continue to work on modularization, only we'll be doing it "the old fashioned way" rather than using JigSaw for JavaFX. So for example we can still strip / subset classes / jars. We just won't get the fancy JigSaw for doing the modularization.

We've gotta have it for embedded and such in any case.
