RFR: JDK 8194892: add compiler support for local-variable syntax for lambda parameters

[Maurizio Cimadamore]

Looks good; minor quibbles:

* Changes in ParserFactory and JavacParser (for adding diagnostic 
factory) seem unnecessary?

* the diagnostic say 'explicitly-typed parameters' which is a term that 
also appear in the spec, so good! But they say 'implicit parameters' - 
which is inconsistent both with the other fragment and with the spec. I 
suggest replacing with 'implicitly-typed' parameters.

Would also help to have some snapshot of the new diagnostics being emitted.

Cheers
Maurizio
