RFR: 8263358: Update java.lang to use instanceof pattern variable

[Brian Goetz]

These patches are obviously minimally correct.  However, for equals 
methods at least, I would take them one step further, from:

             if (!(o instanceof Key that)) return false;
             //noinspection StringEquality (guaranteed interned String(s))
             return name == that.name &&
                    Arrays.equals(ptypes, that.ptypes);

to

     return (o instanceof Key that)
         && name == that.name
         && Arrays.equals(ptypes, that.ptypes);

The use of "if it's not, return false" is a holdover from when we 
couldn't express this as a single expression (which is almost always 
preferable), which means we had to fall back to control flow.  Now we 
don't have to.
