hg: lambda/lambda/jdk: Remove FlatMapper and relevant flatMap variants; migrate to flatMap(e -> stream)

[Mike Duigou]

FlatMapper alternatives are available. At this point the API is still undergoing refinement. This and many other things are still likely to change before the Java 8 streams API is complete. Our focus is on making the best long term decisions for Java and not the short term convenience of early adopters (think of yourselves as experimental volunteers).

If you absolutely can't live without the APIs mentioned you need to explain why they are essential and why the alternatives are inadequate/inferior.
