RFR : JDK-8001642 : Add Optional<T>, OptionalDouble, OptionalInt, OptionalLong

[Mike Duigou]

His response was that they felt reasonable hashCode/equals methods were obligatory and without them users would, if not immediately then eventually, curse us for not providing them. The implementations are added with grudging reluctance.
