JDK-8153654 - Update jdeps to be multi-release jar aware
Description
jdeps is multi-release JAR aware (JDK-8153654).   jdeps in JDK 8 does not recognize multi-release JAR.  It will ignore the versioned entries.   However the versioned entries may be used at runtime.  It would be useful to warn the user to use JDK 9 jdeps with multi-release JAR support so that it can get a correct dependencies of a given release.
Comments
We should also update jdk8u jdeps to show the APIs that are added in JDK 9 to replace use of JDK internal APIs, as part of the enhancement backport.

This patch will advise the developers to use JDK 9 jdeps. This only impacts jdeps tool and no change to the runtime. The change is low risk and very localized to check an input JAR file containing "Multi-Release" attribute in the attribute.
