RFR(m): 8140281 deprecate Optional.get()

[Victor Polischuk]

I am sorry if my comment would be inappropriate, but is there a reason not to introduce "Optional<T> ifAbsent(Runnable emptyAction)" and change signature of ifPresent to "Optional<T> ifPresent(Consumer<? super T> consumer)"?

In that case method chaining would be more natural and it will give a decent way to have more than one simple action assigned to Optional without creating messy java block.
