JDK-8271959 - [lworld] Convert Optional and VBS classes to value class
Description
The build and launcher support overriding identity classes with value classes for the java.base module when run with --enable-preview.  See JDK-8271959.

The mechanism used for java.base generates source files (from the original source file) that declare the classes as "value class".
A corresponding mechanism would be needed for other modules.
