Revisit modeling of module directives

        Description

        The modeling of module directives in the current javax.lang.model API requires downcasts in some cases, which is undesirable.

        One mitigation would be to provide a simple visitor interface, another alternative would be to combine all the module directive interfaces into one, or perhaps just leave the API as-is as sufficient.
