hg: lambda/lambda/jdk: initial small set of extension methods on Collection and List which provide functional-style variants of common operations.

[Paul Benedict]

Hi Mike,

I don't think the xxxHelper classes are a good name. The utility
package is in itself a bunch of helper classes. And a name like
ListHelper kind of begs the question what help is needed or why help
is needed. Since these are all static methods, why not merge
CollectionHelpers with Collections, and introduce a new static utility
Lists?
