Changes in 8u352-b03:
  - JDK-8071507: (ref) Clear phantom reference as soft and weak references do
  - JDK-8143847: Remove REF_CLEANER reference category

Notes on individual issues:
===========================

core-libs/java.lang:

JDK-8071507: (ref) Clear phantom reference as soft and weak references do
=========================================================================
This enhancement changes phantom references to be automatically
cleared by the garbage collector as soft and weak references.

An object becomes phantom reachable after it has been finalized. This
change may cause the phantom reachable objects to be GC'ed earlier -
previously the referent is kept alive until PhantomReference objects
are GC'ed or cleared by the application. This potential behavioral
change might only impact existing code that would depend on
PhantomReference being enqueued rather than when the referent be freed
from the heap.

Thanks,
