Creates a new, narrowed API explicitly for use by jlink, which view the 
resource entries in a jimage file without the re-mapping of names and invention 
of synthetic entries inherent in ImageReader.

Another good reason to express this new API as something other than ImageReader 
is that, to fix issues such as 
[JDK-8357249](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8357249), we don't want to 
have the (System)ImageReader class used directly in jlink code. It's just the 
wrong abstraction and will make it harder to refactor jlink to use a 
non-singleton API with a controlled lifetime later. 

I've not added unit tests for the new API (yet), but the fact the 
PackagedModulesVsRuntimeImageLinkTest passes with preview content in the jimage 
file means that it's working as expected.
