packaging: derive the jpackage module list from module-info.java instead of maintaining sixteen copies

The jdk.net incident was caused by duplication rather than by a single
oversight: the module list existed in module-info.java, in the jpackage Maven
plugin and in fourteen hardcoded --add-modules arguments across the workflows
and AUR PKGBUILDs. Only the path that CI does not use was kept up to date, so
every packaged build shipped a runtime image without jdk.net.

Add packaging/AddModules.java, a single file source program that reads the
requires clauses and prints the platform modules. It runs identically on the
Linux, macOS and Windows runners without a build step, and skips third party
requires such as jlayer, which is an automatic module and cannot be linked
into a runtime image at all, as well as test only requires and requires
static. All sixteen packaging call sites now resolve the list through it, so
they can no longer drift from the descriptor.

The jpackage Maven plugin takes its modules as individual XML elements and
cannot consume a generated value, so it remains a second copy. To keep it
honest the helper has a pom verification mode, bound to the validate phase
via exec-maven-plugin. Binding it to the build rather than to a workflow
trigger means it also fires on direct pushes to main, on tagged releases, in
both AUR PKGBUILDs and on local builds, none of which run the pull request
check.

The released AUR PKGBUILD builds from a tag tarball that may predate the
helper, and aur-publish.yml rewrites pkgver to the latest release, so it
falls back to the list carried in that tarball's own pom.xml.

Verified that the generated list produces a byte identical runtime image to
the previous hardcoded one, that removing a requires fails the build with a
precise diff, and that the pull request check and the push triggered nightly
AppImage job both succeed under act.
