Please add support for JPMS (java module system)

[bademux]

Introducing module-info.java will hilight dependencies.
For example JVips uses java.awt.Dimension, this forces us to use whole java.desktop module, an it will block from using graalvm to compile app with JPMS to native binary (and also increase size for JLinked app).

I’m not familiar with JPMS, but it looks like a Java 9 feature, and JVips supports Java 8, so I doubt we’ll implement it.

@warrenseine Sorry I missed that. Can be closed then

Upd.
Will it be acceptable to add attribute "Automatic-Module-Name: JVips" to manifest? More info: https://docs.oracle.com/javase/9/docs/specs/jar/jar.html

I suppose so, as long as it's ignored in previous Java versions.
