Description
Unnamed modules are part of the platform module system (http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/261). It would be helpful if the javax.lang.model API provided a supported and documented mechanism to create a ModuleElement for the unnamed module.

When developing the changes for JDK-8190886, it would have been helpful to have a standardized idiom to create a ModuleElement of an unnamed module. For the case in question, the desire was to use the two-argument form of getTypeElement which takes a name and a module.
