TraceClassLoading (JDK 8) currently prints a "Loaded <class>" message when the class is loaded but not yet linked. In JDK 11+, this message is included in the logging framework as "[info][class,load] <Class>".

These messages are not well understood by many users and are often misinterpreted as meaning the class is loaded, linked and usable. In circumstances where a third party software may be swallowing errors, such as LinkageErrors, it may be that classloading fails after the "Loaded <class>" message has been printed, giving a false indication of success.

This is a request to print a message when the class is linked and add any LinkageErrors to the tracing.
