RFR(m): 8177290 add copy factory methods for unmodifiable List, Set, Map

[Tagir Valeev]

Hello!

Set.of:

+        if (coll instanceof ImmutableCollections.AbstractImmutableSet) {
+            return (Set<E>)coll;
+        } else {
+            return (Set<E>)Set.of(coll.stream().distinct().toArray());

I think that good old Set.of(new HashSet<>(coll).toArray()) would
produce less garbage. distinct() also maintains HashSet internally,
but it removes the SIZED characteristic, so instead of preallocated
array you will have a SpinedBuffer which is less efficient than
AbstractCollection.toArray() implementation which just allocates the
array of exact size. What do you think?

Collectors:

+    static final Set<Collector.Characteristics> CH_UNORDERED_NOID
+            = Collections.unmodifiableSet(EnumSet.of(Collector.Characteristics.UNORDERED));

Is it really more efficient currently than
Set.of(Collector.Characteristics.UNORDERED)? At least less objects
will be allocated with Set.of

+    Collector<T, ?, List<T>> toUnmodifiableList() {
+        return new CollectorImpl<>((Supplier<List<T>>)
ArrayList::new, List::add,
+                                   (left, right) -> {
left.addAll(right); return left; },
+                                   list -> (List<T>)List.of(list.toArray()),
+                                   CH_NOID);
+    }

Isn't it reasonable to use `e -> List.add(Objects.requireNonNull(e))`
instead of simply `List::add`? In this case if null is added, then
failure will occur much earlier, and the failure stacktrace would be
more relevant. The same for Set/Map.

+                map ->
(Map<K,U>)Map.ofEntries(map.entrySet().toArray(new Map.Entry[0])));

It's the same lambda in two versions of toUnmodifiableMap. Isn't it
better to extract it to the constant to prevent duplication in the
bytecode (or at least to method and refer to it via method reference)?
