While doing this, I realized a few issues with my patch around the 
subList mechanics:

- I had "optimized" AbstractImmutable::subList to return self or 
emptyList if appropriate, which sounded nice, but is in fact an 
incompatible change (some subLists become Serializable).
- the ListFactories test didn't explicitly verify that sublists 
retrieved from various List.of() impls aren't Serializable. Added tests 
to check no sub-list is Serializable,
and as a bonus this test now verifies that List.of(...).subList(...) 
behave like their List.of(..) counterparts in most other ways.
- fixed range check in AbstractImmutableList.listIterator(0) to not 
throw IOOBE if the list is empty
