(JDK-8064407) Backporting the FileChannel.transferTo (Windows) improvement to JDK 8

[Seán Coffey]

Martin,

This shouldn't be a problem. I can sponsor this one also for you. I'll 
try importing the JDK 9 patch (post path changes). If it applies 
cleanly, we shouldn't need a review. Hope to get to this on Tuesday.

Regards,
Sean.
