In Java 22, the single `--enable-native-access` was used both to specify a set of modules for which native access should be allowed *and* to specify whether illegal native access (that is, native access occurring from a module not specified by `--enable-native-access`) should be treated as an error or a warning. More specifically, an error is only issued if the `--enable-native-access flag` is used at least once.

The default policy is `warn`, but users can select `allow` to suppress the warnings, or `deny` to cause `IllegalCallerException` to be thrown. This aligns the treatment of restricted methods with other mechanisms, such as `--illegal-access` and the more recent `--sun-misc-unsafe-memory-access`.

The list of allowed modules has been rewritten from scratch, by looking at the set of modules containing at least one `native` method declaration.

This is the biggest change in this PR. That is, we need to pass enough arguments to `ClassLoader::findNative` so that the method can start a restricted check accordingly.

src/java.base/share/classes/java/lang/Module.java line 311:

There are some changes in this code:
* this code is no-op if `--illegal-native-access` is set to `allow`
* we also attach the location of the problematic class to the warning message, using `CodeSource`
* we use the "initial error stream" to emit the warning, similarly to what is done for other runtime warnings

src/java.base/share/classes/jdk/internal/reflect/Reflection.java line 115:

> 115:         if (VM.isModuleSystemInited()) {

If we call this code too early, we can see cases where `module` is `null`.

There are several of these changes. One option might have been to just disable restricted warnings when building. But on a deeper look, I realized that in all these places we already disabled deprecation warnings for the use of security manager, so I also added a new suppression instead.

This module setup is a bit convoluted, but I wanted to make sure that we got separate warnings for `System.loadLibrary` and binding of the `native` method, and that warning on the _use_ of the native method was not generated (typically, all three operations occur in the same module).
