JDK-8059035 - Break the (implicit) dependency from jdk.jcmd to jdk.hotspot.agent
Description
Currently, jcmd has a hard dependency on the SA:

$cat jdk/src/jdk.jcmd/share/classes/module-info.java
module jdk.jcmd {
    requires jdk.attach;
    requires jdk.jvmstat;
    requires jdk.hotspot.agent; // until JDK-8059035 is complete
}

This will break every platform which does not implement the SA.
Comments
The dependency has been eliminated in jake by converting to use service interface: http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jigsaw/jake/jdk/rev/0080ef862071 http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jigsaw/jake/hotspot/rev/f2d8674642fe
