RFR(S): JDK-8009552: test/vm/verifier/TestStaticIF.java failing with hs25.0-b20

[Bharadwaj Yadavalli]

I would like to request for a review of the elimination of the flag 
-XX:-UseSplitVerifier from the test in 
jdk/test/vm/verifier/TestStaticIF.java as a consequence of the decision 
to deprecate type inference verifier for new class file format versions.

Please note that there were two copies of the test TestStaticIF.java 
with each being tested using different verifiers
a) hotspot/test/runtime/8007736/TestStaticIF.java - was being tested 
with default verifier
b) jdk/test/vm/verifier/TestStaticIF.java - was being tested with old 
verifier i.e., with the option -XX:-UseSplitVerifier

Since TestStaticIF uses Java 8 features, and will be compiled to class 
file version 52, verifying it using old verifier is neither needed nor 
supported. Hence the dual changes.
