[foreign] RFR 8213518: jextract should support --include-symbols option

[Maurizio Cimadamore]

Looks good. +1 on the careful testing, getting exclude with exclude is 
tricky.

I wonder if the help message should be explict about the order in which 
filters are applied.

Stepping back, as discussed privately, I think we have reached the end 
of the road when it comes to the big toplevel @NativeHeader annotation, 
and we will work towards breaking that up at the member level - which 
seems to make more sense on a number of orthogonal axis (readability, 
parseability from binder, scalabilty when symbols are many, reuse of 
indentical desc strings).
