RFR: JDK-8213339 Update precompiled.hpp with headers based on current frequency

[David Holmes]

Looks okay - thanks for doing all the experiments! (Though I'm still 
curious what happens if you recompile individual header files :) ).

  25 // Precompiled headers are turned off for Sun Studio,

May as well change to Solaris Studio if you're going to fix the typo :)

Thanks.
David
