RFR [9] 8011645: CopyOnWriteArrayList.COWSubList.subList does not validate range properly

[Jason Mehrens]

Martin, 
 Unifying the List testing code might be kind of tricky with https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-4506427 as unresolved. http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/util/List.html
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/util/AbstractList.html The patch looks good though. Cheers, Jason
