JDK-8136930 - Simplify use of module-system options by custom launchers
Description
Move the argument handling for -modulepath, -upgrademodulepath, -addmods, -limitmods, -Xpatch, -XaddExports and -XaddReads down to the VM. It is to avoid the use of system properties when doing custom launchers and also to avoid the confusion between launcher and VM options.

The hotspot changes are in the jigsaw/jake forest and a separate issue will be used for bringing the cumulative changes to jdk9/dev. So I assume we can close this issue.

There are several pieces to this and there will probably be several other issues linked in time.
