Description

Hello all

Seeing as 2020 is approaching I would appreciate it if steps towards properly moving away from JDK8 would be taken. Supporting the JDK9+ module system would be a great start. While many parts already work as a dependency with the automatic module in Akka HTTP not even this is possible due to the fact that for example the package akka.http.impl.settings is used in both akka-http and akka-http-core. Properly restructuring the artifacts would be required for this. However this is just a start and real module-info declarations are required.

Research direction
Investigate the current package layout to understand the conflict of 'akka.http.impl.settings' being used in both akka http and akka http core. Study existing automatic module handling in Akka HTTP. Define a plan for restructuring artifacts and adding module info.java files. Refer to comments in the issue for additional context.
