In JDK 8, the package `jdk.net` was exported and part of `rt.jar`, and hence should have been part of the historical data for `--release`, but it is not. The primary goal of this PR is to add historical data for `jdk.net` for JDK 8.
The changes herein are based on JDK 8u462. I used the Probe running on JDK 8 to dump the classfiles, along these lines:
$ java -classpath .../make/langtools/src/classes/ build.tools.symbolgenerator.Probe /tmp/jdk8-classfiles
and then the up-to-date `CreateSymbols` to generate the `sym.txt` files, along these lines:
java --add-exports jdk.compiler/com.sun.tools.javac.api=ALL-UNNAMED --add-exports jdk.compiler/com.sun.tools.javac.util=ALL-UNNAMED CreateSymbols.java build-description-incremental-file .../src/jdk.compiler/share/data/symbols/symbols .../src/jdk.compiler/share/data/symbols/include.list 8 /tmp/jdk8-classfiles '<none>' --normalize-method-flags
There are a few APIs that have been added for this release, and a few representational changes.
Most notably - the ordering of "removal" entries (i.e. those that start with `-`) and "add" entries is much more strict in the current `CreateSymbols`, and so there are some changes where the removal entries are moved to the front. I went through those, and they seem OK to me.
I'll add specific comments to the other updates to the files.
