[8u] RFR Backport of 8067429: java.lang.VerifyError: Inconsistent stackmap frames at branch target

[Andrew Leonard]

Hi,
Please can I request a review of this updated patch for 8067429 to 
backport to jdk8u/langtools. We have seen problem reports from clients 
seeing this issue with jdk8 and would like to request a backport please.
The patch is essentially the same as published to jdk9+, but jdk8 the file 
paths are in a different location. I have built and tested all "tier1" and 
"langtools_all" successfully, and the patch new testcase passes.

Once reviewed I will add the jdk8u-fix-request.

Many thanks
Andrew
