default methods inherited by EnumSet and EnumMap

[Martin Buchholz]

Almost every core library collection class can benefit from overriding
those default methods for performance.
But it hasn't been done consistently - I noticed this myself recently in
other collection classes; we have an effort under way to fix that for jdk9
(notably ArrayDeque).  But EnumMap/EnumSet have probably fallen into the
orphaned bucket.
