nonNull and similar methods [was Re: First round of java.util.Objects for code review (bug 6797535)]

Stephen,

My interpretation of Joe's email was that it would stay in j.u.Objects
unless someone (other than him) contributes the Validate class and
tests. Granting your point, his choice would otherwise stand and
re-factoring it after JDK 7 would be impossible.

I am interested in such a class and will try submit my first patch for
JDK. Do you want to help? I am open to doing it together.
