JDK-8152818 - Javadoc must support module options supported by javac.
Description
ToolOption.get does not detect the option name correctly. It should use the first of ':', '=', not prefer ':' over '='.

    static ToolOption get(String name) {
        String oname = name;
        if (name.contains(":")) {
            oname = name.substring(0, name.indexOf(':') + 1);
        } else if (name.contains("=")) {
            oname = name.substring(0, name.indexOf('='));
        }
Comments
Added modularization m4 labels since the fix is required to be able to use --patch-module.

Caused by changes in JDK-8152818 It looks like the fault was caused when adding support for -Xmodule: That option has gone away. There should not be any options that require a ':' separator, so it may be easiest to simply remove ':' as a separator. Altenatively, '=' as a separator is only allowed for options beginning '--'.
