This entire section trying to load libutil is quite complex. For a start, I'd 
recommend you break it out into a separate method `loadLibUtil` or something 
like that, to make this clearer.

src/jdk.internal.le/share/classes/jdk/internal/org/jline/terminal/impl/ffm/CLibrary.java
 line 504:

Wait a minute. If I get this right, then you can pass 
`-Djdk.internal.org.jline.ffm.libutil=mydodgylib.so` as command line, and have 
the JDK load any arbitrary library? That sounds super bad from a security 
perspective. I recommend you remove this.
