[OpenJDK 2D-Dev] Turn on Xrender by default in JDK 8

[Jim Graham]

We should normalize all of these via a helper function.  All combinations of

     false, f, False, F, true, t, True, T

should work for all boolean properties and the upper case versions 
should all be verbose.  Arguably we could easily allow any number of 
letters (so that "fal" works) by just using the "startsWith()" method 
instead of a direct equals() comparison.

Also, if they spell the property name correctly, but we don't recognize 
the value - shouldn't we print out a complaint?
