RFR: Direct LambdaMetaFactory invocation from CallSite significantly improves lambda linkage performance

[John Rose]

Yes, this is a good tactic, but as written it is too much of a point hack for lambdas (important though they are).

I have an alternate solution I would like you to measure.  It provides a fast path for other BSM lookups like Nashorn's, so (if it works well for lambda) it is preferable.

I will attach a patch to the bug report.
