RFR 8010325 : Remove hash32() method and hash32 int field from java.lang.String

[Seán Coffey]

Brent,

do you need to remove the sun/misc/Hashing.java reference from the 
make/java/java/FILES_java.gmk file? I suspect it could break builds for 
people still using the old build system on jdk8.

regards,
Sean.
