Backport <was> Fwd: RFR 8037857: Methods j.u.Arrays.spliterator/stream(X[], int, int) throw IAE instead of specified AIOOBE when endIndex < startIndex

[Paul Sandoz]

I would like to backport the following that has been approved for 9 to 8u20. Patch for 9 currently applies cleanly to 8u20.

Thanks,
Paul.
