JDK-8159305 - Enhance the javadoc tool to support module related options
Description
Currently, it seems that you need -addmods for javadoc to make modules on the module source path observable.

This seems counter-intuitive, and against the general policy of -addmods ALL-DEFAULT elsewhere in the system.

The fix for JDK-8159305 and JDK-8154705 will address this issue. Should I close this as a dup of the former ?
