      Although the java --source option is a different option than the javac -source option, the difference in the number of leading dashes is confusing when each is used in conjunction with --enable-preview.

      To that end, we should add --source as a synonym for -source in javac, and while doing that, we should add --target as a synonym for -target, which is the other option in the triad of -source, -target, --release.
