RFR: 8335802: Improve startup speed HexFormat uses boolean instead of enum

The current HexFormat defines an Enum to represent LowerCase and UpperCase


class HexFormat {
    private enum Case {
        LOWERCASE,
        UPPERCASE
    }
}


This will cause the JVM to load one more class when it starts, which can be seen as follows


public class Startup {
    public static void main(String[] args) {}
}



java -verbose:class Startup



[0.094s][info][class,load] java.util.HexFormat$Case source: /Users/.../jdk/modules/java.base


There are only two cases here, which can be represented by boolean, which is clearer and can improve the startup speed a little bit.
