As part of the library lambdafication, this patch adds a forEach default
method to Iterator, and converts remove() into a default method so that
implementations of Iterator no longer have to override remove if they
desire the default behavior, which is to throw an
UnsupportedOperationException.

The above patch requires a small patch to an internal class which
happens to implement both Iterable and Iterator. Now both Iterable and
Iterator supply a default forEach method, so the compiler balks. One
minimally intrusive solution is for this class to override both defaults
and provide its own version of forEach.

Please review
Thanks
