JDK-8217687 - jpackage --help improvements
Description
The options --add-modules and --limit-modules use File.pathSeperator() to seperate list of modules.

It should be comma-separated list of modules.   This can be rephrased to
    --add-modules <mod>[,<mod>...]   Root modules to resolve for creating the runtime image.
Comments
The code already uses comma separated list for --add-modules and --limit-modules. The bug is just in the help text that says the modules are delimited with File.pathSeparator I am closing this bug and adding a line item to the description of JDK-8217687

We will change the --add-modules syntax as above (--limit-modules will be removed)
