JDK-8223332 - Update JVMCI
Description
JDK-8223332 updated JVMCI in jdk head (JDK 13 timeframe). That rather large patch includes some module-info.java updates for the jdk.internal.vm.ci module so as to export the 'code' package to the jdk.internal.vm.compiler module.

This module export is needed for using native-image (the binary over the launcher script) of Graal VM with OpenJDK 11.

Rather than backporting the large patch of  JDK-8223332 to a stable updates release I propose to only backport the module-info.java changes so as to reduce risk.

Fix Request (OpenJDK 11u): Please approve this tiny module-info.java change which allows for running mandrel's native-image in native mode. For that the extra export to the jdk.internal.vm.compiler module are needed. Change should be low risk, JVMCI-only change. Tested with jvmci tests, bootstrap test and manual reproducer from mandrel. Patch has been reviewed by Christoph Langer. RFR: https://git.openjdk.java.net/jdk11u-dev/pull/318
