hg: lambda/lambda/langtools: Generate all static lambda methods as static. Only interface instance (default) methods still public awaiting VM fixes.

[Robert Field]

This is just about how the compiler generates synthetic lambda methods. We intend to have all these methods be private, however, at this time, the VM does not yet support private interface default methods (that fix is in progress). Questions about Java language level support should be addressed in a different thread.
Thanks,
Robert
