This patch introduces a new Javac plugin as a build tool, written by
Jan Lahoda. The plugin creates a hash of the public API of what is
being compiled and puts it in a file. The file is only updated if
there is a difference compared to the current contents of the file. I
have provided the integration with the build system.
The benefit of this is that we finally get some reasonable incremental
build performance between modules. If you make a change to a class in
java.base that doesn't touch the public API, the build will no longer
recompile all other modules.

Looks good to me.
Nice to finally see this happening! :-)
