Java SE 9 added two abstract module-aware methods to the interface

(this follows similar additions of abstract methods in Java SE 6).
Right, Instrumentation wants to be a sealed type but doesn't have a way
to express this yet. Adding a statement to the javadoc seems okay for
now, I'm just wondering if it should use one of the javadoc tags created
for documenting API notes [1]. Joe Darcy (cc'ed) may have input into
this. It can probably be @apiNote as the statement is it documenting
intention.
