Review Request: 8004201: add reducers to primitive type wrappers

[Krystal Mo]

Hi Vitaly,

Right now HotSpot only declares and implements the (int,int)->int 
version of Math.min/max as intrinsics.
Nevertheless, it wouldn't hurt to use the Math methods, in hope that 
they'll get more love in the future :-)
