JDK-8048890 - Add option to keep track of symbol completion dependencies
Description
Currently, sjavac depends on being able to override methods in JavaCompiler and Attr to collect dependencies. This gives rise to sjavac using two classes
    com.sun.tools.sjavac.comp.AttrWithDeps
    com.sun.tools.sjavac.comp.JavaCompilerWithDeps

Although that was intentional at the time, there is now a sense that it would be better to provide a hook or listener interface in javac that sjavac can use.
