Please review this change for the `jar` tool to gracefully handle the case 
where `--release` is not specified as the last arguments.

Prior to this commit, operation modes `-d --describe-module` and `--validate` 
expected to read the optional `--release` option as a file argument: `jar -d -f 
a.jar --release 9`
By adding a hidden GNU-style `--release` option, processing the optional 
arguments before in those two operation modes, the position is now no longer 
required to trail behind the `-f --file` option: `jar -d --release 9 -f a.jar`
