RFR 8059631: Use of '#' to represent MethodHandle kind is confusing

[Jonathan Gibbons]

I'll do a build and test run;  I think it should go if it is unused.

I wasn't sure at first, since most of the names appear in the 3rd column 
of JVMS 8, Table 5.4.3.5-A
but the oddball is REF_newInvokeSpecial(8, "newinvokespecial") which 
isn't a JVMS name.
