8207690: Parsing API for classpath and similar path strings

[Roger Riggs]

Please review the API and implementation of an API to parse Path strings.
Two methods are added to java.nio.file.Paths to parse a string using the 
path separator delimiter
and return either List<String> or List<Path>.  Empty path elements are 
ignored.

For compatibility with current URLClassPath behavior the internal 
implementation handles
replacement of empty paths.
