[OpenJDK 2D-Dev] Custom rendering engines in jk9

[Laurent Bourgès]

Phil,
In the following bug, you propose to remove the ServiceLoader in the
RenderingEngine class:
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8038875

For now the jdk has only ductus and pisces engines but I am working on
marlin which is an improved pisces:
https://github.com/bourgesl/marlin-renderer

To use marlin I rely on this service loader... but maybe others too.

Please keep at least the factory pattern to let users choose which
rendering engine to use at startup.

PS: I still hope merging my changes from marlin into jdk9 pisces in future
to improve both performance & visual quality.

Regards,
Laurent
