7127687: MethodType leaks memory due to interning

[Vitaly Davidovich]

Hi John,

I think you can use diamond generic inference when declaring the weak
intern set.

Also any reason you didn't use WeakHashMap directly with dummy value to
simulate the set? Or wrap the WeakHashMap and synchronize the accessors to
it?
