Description
We will need to allow --add-modules (JDK-8136930) so applications that depend on modules not included in ALL-DEFAULT will be able to run. We will not be able to support the original -XaddModules format since it requires two arguments, only the GNU style argument will be supported.

Comments
I might change this to encompass adding all of the GNU style modular args we plan on supporting, but we have a separate issue filed for -XaddExports
