RFR (XS): 8141677: Improve java.lang.invoke.MemberName hashCode implementation

[Vladimir Ivanov]

Claes,

If you want to avoid Byte$ByteCache initialization, don't you achieve 
the same just by wrapping reference kind manually [1]?

Regarding getting rid of varags method call (Objects.hashCode), do you 
see any measurable improvements? I'm reluctant to see such changes 
(manual method body inlining) unless the affected code is really hot.

Best regards,
Vladimir Ivanov
