Detect Hamcrest and others when testing?

[mtdowling]

Given that this plugin will already detect testing frameworks like JUnit and add the appropriate --add-reads and --add-opens, can we do the same thing for Hamcrest and other common testing libraries?

This support needs to be added per-case (I don't know how to do it completely transparent), so let's try to list which JARs it would need explicitly.

[mtdowling]

Yeah, there needs to be a hand-maintained list of these things. I implemented something like this using the ModuleFinder to parse out module names of all dependencies. It was easier to have a list of module names rather than a list of JARs. This is the list I used:

• The newer hamcrest module name: "org.hamcrest"
• Older, inferred module names: "hamcrest", "hamcrest.all"

Sounds like a great feature. Happy to accept a PR.
