Swing module's module-info file

[Prasanta Sadhukhan]

This is because if fx is compiled with a jdk version which does not have 
jdk.unsupported.desktop module then having module-info.java in its 
original place would cause compilation error as module-info.java contains

requires static jdk.unsupported.desktop;

So, the idea was to copy the file into a directory which is not on the 
module-source-path. Then build.gradle copy it from there to gensrc 
directory optionally filtering the above line
  task copyModuleInfo(type: Copy, description: "copy module-info file to 
gensrc") {
         from "src/main/module-info/module-info.java"
         into "$buildDir/gensrc/java/"
         filter { line->
             !HAS_UNSUPPORTED_DESKTOP && 
line.contains('jdk.unsupported.desktop') ? null : line
         }
     }
