JDK-8196618 - Create API to list supported values for javac --release option
Description
The test

   langtools/tools/javac/modules/JavaBaseTest.java

assumes --release is supported to the the current version value, which isn't necessarily the case. Until an API exists to lists the current set of --release alternatives ( JDK-8196618), one way in increase the utility of the test is to no explicitly use a --release value for the current release.
