      Update the java launcher to support the use of "preview" features.

      Problem

      JEP 12 [1] describes JDK support for "preview" language and VM features.The launcher should support this as a documented flag.

      Solution

      The launcher will support the flag "--enable-preview" and make it available to the Java Virtual Machine, and advertise it via its help/man pages.

      Specification

      New option: --enable-preview allow classes to depend on preview features of this release.
