SNOW-413202: Include module-info in jar

[markslater]

The Snowflake JDBC jar should support Java 9 modules.

The 3.13.6 jar actually includes a module-info.class, but it appears to be the Bouncy Castle one, presumably collected in the process of building a fat jar.

@markslater Can you provide more detail on the use case you have and the issue you are running into because of this?

[markslater]

I would like to generate a runtime image of my application using jlink, but this isn't possible unless all the application's dependencies include a module-info.class.

Providing a module-info.class would also help avoid applications inadvertently depending on internals of the Snowflake JDBC jar because it provides stronger encapsulation. The driver includes shadowed versions of a lot of popular libraries, so it is very easy for applications to import a shadowed class by mistake.
