RFR 8081027: Create a common test to check adequacy of initial size of static HashMap/ArrayList fields

[Martin Buchholz]

Thanks.

Your methods like ofArrayList declare that they
throw ReflectiveOperationException, but also have a try/catch to prevent
that from ever happening.

The assertions e.g.
OptimalCapacity.ofArrayList(XClass.class, "theList", N)
could look more like assertions, e.g.
OptimalCapacity.assertOptimallySized(Class<?> clazz, String fieldName,
            int initialCapacity)

getStorage returns the actual internal array, but you only ever need the
length.  Maybe I would have a single method

static int internalArraySize(Object x) { ... }

"enteties" is misspelled.

For ArrayLists, I would have been happy enough just testing that we have
100% utilization, i.e. size of array is the same as size of the List,
without checking the initial capacity.
