The location of the `module-info.class` in the jar file is wrong

[khmarbaise]

Currently in the version 1.5.0 (even before) the module-info.class is located at META-INF/versions/9/module-info.class which is wrong. It must be located in the root of the JAR file ....

Module JARs (examples):

• https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/junit/jupiter/junit-jupiter-api/5.9.3/ - api jar file contains module-info.class
• https://central.sonatype.com/artifact/org.junit.platform/junit-platform-commons/versions - is a multi release jar...

This is being generated using the moditect-maven-plugin.

• Default output directory for module-info.class should be META-INF/versions/9 moditect/moditect#67

It's also not in the wrong place -- that's the correct place for it to be in a multi-release jar.
