A simple service-provider loading facility.
 A service is a well-known set of interfaces and (usually
abstract) classes.  A service provider is a specific implementation
of a service.  The classes in a provider typically implement the interfaces
and subclass the classes defined in the service itself.  Service providers
can be installed in an implementation of the Java platform in the form of
extensions, that is, jar files placed into any of the usual extension
directories.  Providers can also be made available by adding them to the
application's class path or by some other platform-specific means.
 For the purpose of loading, a service is represented by a single type,
that is, a single interface or abstract class.  (A concrete class can be
used, but this is not recommended.)  A provider of a given service contains
one or more concrete classes that extend this service type with data
and code specific to the provider.  The provider class is typically
not the entire provider itself but rather a proxy which contains enough
information to decide whether the provider is able to satisfy a particular
request together with code that can create the actual provider on demand.
The details of provider classes tend to be highly service-specific; no
single class or interface could possibly unify them, so no such type is
defined here.  The only requirement enforced by this facility is that
provider classes must have a zero-argument constructor so that they can be
instantiated during loading.
 A service provider is identified by placing a
provider-configuration file in the resource directory
META-INF/services.  The file's name is the fully-qualified binary name of the service's type.
The file contains a list of fully-qualified binary names of concrete
provider classes, one per line.  Space and tab characters surrounding each
name, as well as blank lines, are ignored.  The comment character is
'#' ('\u0023',
NUMBER SIGN); on
each line all characters following the first comment character are ignored.
The file must be encoded in UTF-8.
 If a particular concrete provider class is named in more than one
configuration file, or is named in the same configuration file more than
once, then the duplicates are ignored.  The configuration file naming a
particular provider need not be in the same jar file or other distribution
unit as the provider itself.  The provider must be accessible from the same
class loader that was initially queried to locate the configuration file;
note that this is not necessarily the class loader from which the file was
actually loaded.
 Providers are located and instantiated lazily, that is, on demand. A service loader maintains a cache of the providers that have been loaded so far. Each invocation of the iterator method returns an iterator that first yields all of the elements of the cache, in instantiation order, and then lazily locates and instantiates any remaining providers, adding each one to the cache in turn. The cache can be cleared via the reload method. 
 Service loaders always execute in the security context of the caller.
Trusted system code should typically invoke the methods in this class, and
the methods of the iterators which they return, from within a privileged
security context.
 Instances of this class are not safe for use by multiple concurrent
threads.
 Unless otherwise specified, passing a null argument to any method in this class will cause a NullPointerException to be thrown. 
Example
Suppose we have a service type com.example.CodecSet which is
intended to represent sets of encoder/decoder pairs for some protocol.  In
this case it is an abstract class with two abstract methods:
public abstract Encoder getEncoder(String encodingName);
public abstract Decoder getDecoder(String encodingName);
Each method returns an appropriate object or null if the provider
does not support the given encoding.  Typical providers support more than
one encoding.
 If com.example.impl.StandardCodecs is an implementation of the
CodecSet service then its jar file also contains a file named
META-INF/services/com.example.CodecSet
 This file contains the single line:
com.example.impl.StandardCodecs    # Standard codecs
 The CodecSet class creates and saves a single service instance
at initialization:
private static ServiceLoader<CodecSet> codecSetLoader
    = ServiceLoader.load(CodecSet.class);
 To locate an encoder for a given encoding name it defines a static
factory method which iterates through the known and available providers,
returning only when it has located a suitable encoder or has run out of
providers.
public static Encoder getEncoder(String encodingName) {
    for (CodecSet cp : codecSetLoader) {
        Encoder enc = cp.getEncoder(encodingName);
        if (enc != null)
            return enc;
    }
    return null;
}
 A getDecoder method is defined similarly.
Usage Note If
the class path of a class loader that is used for provider loading includes
remote network URLs then those URLs will be dereferenced in the process of
searching for provider-configuration files.
 This activity is normal, although it may cause puzzling entries to be
created in web-server logs.  If a web server is not configured correctly,
however, then this activity may cause the provider-loading algorithm to fail
spuriously.
 A web server should return an HTTP 404 (Not Found) response when a requested resource does not exist. Sometimes, however, web servers are erroneously configured to return an HTTP 200 (OK) response along with a helpful HTML error page in such cases. This will cause a ServiceConfigurationError to be thrown when this class attempts to parse the HTML page as a provider-configuration file. The best solution to this problem is to fix the misconfigured web server to return the correct response code (HTTP 404) along with the HTML error page.

Lazily loads the available providers of this loader's service.
 The iterator returned by this method first yields all of the
elements of the provider cache, in instantiation order.  It then lazily
loads and instantiates any remaining providers, adding each one to the
cache in turn.
 To achieve laziness the actual work of parsing the available provider-configuration files and instantiating providers must be done by the iterator itself. Its hasNext and next methods can therefore throw a ServiceConfigurationError if a provider-configuration file violates the specified format, or if it names a provider class that cannot be found and instantiated, or if the result of instantiating the class is not assignable to the service type, or if any other kind of exception or error is thrown as the next provider is located and instantiated. To write robust code it is only necessary to catch ServiceConfigurationError when using a service iterator. 
 If such an error is thrown then subsequent invocations of the
iterator will make a best effort to locate and instantiate the next
available provider, but in general such recovery cannot be guaranteed.
Design Note
Throwing an error in these cases may seem extreme.  The rationale for
this behavior is that a malformed provider-configuration file, like a
malformed class file, indicates a serious problem with the way the Java
virtual machine is configured or is being used.  As such it is
preferable to throw an error rather than try to recover or, even worse,
fail silently.
 The iterator returned by this method does not support removal. Invoking its remove method will cause an UnsupportedOperationException to be thrown. 
Implementation Note:
When adding providers to the cache, the 
Iterator processes resources in the order that the 
ClassLoader.getResources(String) method finds the service configuration files.
Returns:

     *
     * <p> The iterator returned by this method first yields all of the
     * elements of the provider cache, in instantiation order.  It then lazily
     * loads and instantiates any remaining providers, adding each one to the
     * cache in turn.
     *
     * <p> To achieve laziness the actual work of parsing the available
     * provider-configuration files and instantiating providers must be done by
     * the iterator itself.  Its {@link java.util.Iterator#hasNext hasNext} and
     * {@link java.util.Iterator#next next} methods can therefore throw a
     * {@link ServiceConfigurationError} if a provider-configuration file
     * violates the specified format, or if it names a provider class that
     * cannot be found and instantiated, or if the result of instantiating the
     * class is not assignable to the service type, or if any other kind of
     * exception or error is thrown as the next provider is located and
     * instantiated.  To write robust code it is only necessary to catch {@link
     * ServiceConfigurationError} when using a service iterator.
     *
     * <p> If such an error is thrown then subsequent invocations of the
     * iterator will make a best effort to locate and instantiate the next
     * available provider, but in general such recovery cannot be guaranteed.
     *
     * <blockquote style="font-size: smaller; line-height: 1.2"><span
     * style="padding-right: 1em; font-weight: bold">Design Note</span>
     * Throwing an error in these cases may seem extreme.  The rationale for
     * this behavior is that a malformed provider-configuration file, like a
     * malformed class file, indicates a serious problem with the way the Java
     * virtual machine is configured or is being used.  As such it is
     * preferable to throw an error rather than try to recover or, even worse,
     * fail silently.</blockquote>
     *
     * <p> The iterator returned by this method does not support removal.
     * Invoking its {@link java.util.Iterator#remove() remove} method will
     * cause an {@link UnsupportedOperationException} to be thrown.
     *
     * @implNote When adding providers to the cache, the {@link #iterator
     * Iterator} processes resources in the order that the {@link
     * java.lang.ClassLoader#getResources(java.lang.String)
     * ClassLoader.getResources(String)} method finds the service configuration
     * files.

Creates a new service loader for the given service type and class
loader.
Params:
service – 
        The interface or abstract class representing the service
loader – 
        The class loader to be used to load provider-configuration files
        and provider classes, or null if the system class
        loader (or, failing that, the bootstrap class loader) is to be
        used
Type parameters:
<S> – the class of the service type
Returns:

Creates a new service loader for the given service type, using the
extension class loader.
 This convenience method simply locates the extension class loader,
call it extClassLoader, and then returns
ServiceLoader.load(service, extClassLoader)
 If the extension class loader cannot be found then the system class
loader is used; if there is no system class loader then the bootstrap
class loader is used.
 This method is intended for use when only installed providers are
desired.  The resulting service will only find and load providers that
have been installed into the current Java virtual machine; providers on
the application's class path will be ignored.
