Heads up: Integrating lambda-related changes into jdk8/jdk8

[Alejandro E Murillo]

if the fix involves non test code changes, then the best option now is 
to get that
into jdk8/langtools so it gets nightly testing and gets pushed to the 
master next week.

If the fix only involves test code changes, then it is a low risk push 
to the master
but not sure it will make it to this week promotion anyways
