I tested this with JavaFX and everything is working as I would expect. Without
any options, I get the expected warnings, one time per modules for the three
`javafx.*` modules that use JNI. If I pass the `--enable-native-access` options
at runtime, listing those three modules, there is no warning. Further, I
confirm that if I pass that option to jlink or jpackage when creating a custom
runtime, there is no warning.
