Add jdk.internal.io.IOSupport with copy() methods for InputStream-to-OutputStream copying and modify some classes to use these new methods. One thing that I noticed when looking at this is that in the fix for https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8193842, the Files.copy() method had a loop like while ((n = read(…)) > 0) whereas InputStream.transferTo() had while((n = read(…)) >= 0) which is to say that Files.copy() would terminate if there were an empty read() but transferTo() would not. The patch for 8193842 therefore possibly introduced a subtle behavioral change which no one noticed. read(byte[]) is blocking so it should only return 0 if called with a 0-length array. So not clear to me that Files.copy methods needs to use this.

For JrtPath then the code is specific to the jimage -> jimage case. I think that can be left along too or just replaced with a better implementation for jrtfs.
