Please approve JDK-8067039, which reverts JDK-8029012 and JDK-8065132,
which cause previous versions of javac in 8 not to be able to load some
classfiles generated by the current 8u javac.
After discussions amongst the langtools team, it was decided that the
change should be backed out in 8u, but kept in 9 in order to work
towards a more complete solution to the underlying problem (see
JDK-8066725 and JDK-8062582 for details)
The patch was created cleanly by reverting JDK-8029012 and JDK-8065132.
The patch ran cleanly through a JPRT run. Review was conducted on
compiler-dev, and it was approved by Jonathan Gibbons.
