RFR(s): 8072726: add adapter to convert Enumeration to Iterator

[Stuart Marks]

Yeah, interesting. I think "convert" has too much of an implication of the 
resulting Iterator being independent of the underlying Enumeration, which it 
isn't. "View" is a good word, but it has to be understood with a specific 
meaning, e.g., List.subList creates a view of an underlying list. Perhaps 
"wrapper" would be good because it explains exactly what's going on. I'll mull 
this over a bit and see if I can come up with something better.
