Many core classes have changed due to the introduction of the module system. The CDS classlist should be updated to reflect this.

With automatic generation of classlists at build time in place, we won't need to do manual updates like this any more.

Historically the same default classlist has been used for both server and client VMs on the same platform, and I don't recall seeing a difference in the classes loaded when running client vs server VM.

The classlist should be updated for server vm since we don't support client vm anymore in JDK9.

As with previous refreshes, this could and should be done as late as possible.
