A library for implementing equals and hashCode

[Remi Forax]

After a hacking session, i've got your API and nice performance. 
[ https://github.com/forax/exotic/blob/master/src/test/java/com.github.forax.exotic/com/github/forax/exotic/ObjectSupportExampleTests.java#L12 | https://github.com/forax/exotic/blob/master/src/test/java/com.github.forax.exotic/com/github/forax/exotic/ObjectSupportExampleTests.java#L12 ] 

It works like this, the lambdas are declared Serializable, calling writeReplace on them give me the corresponding SerializedLambda object (i stole that idea from Tagir), which give me the class and the method that contains the lambda body, then i scan the bytecode to extract the corresponding field name (i look for the pattern aload_0 + getfield). Once i have the field name, i re-construct a method handle tree around to implement either hashCode or equals and ensure that from a JIT POV everything is a constant.
