sync'ing the hotspot repository with JDK8 [+MacOS support]

[Mike Duigou]

I have merged the jdk8 mainline into the the lambda root, corba, jaxp, jaxw, and jdk repos. With Keith's merge of Hotspot yesterday this means that it's now possible to build lambda on MacOSX. I've made a mac build and it passes the basic jtreg smoketests.

Binary builds on the openjdk website will probably happen once Maurizio completes the next langtools sync in the next couple of weeks.

Enjoy!
