JDK8 cleanups?

[A. Sundararajan]

* "init.js" is just internal name of the initialization script used by 
jrunscript. The functions, objects exposed by it are linked from here:

http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/technotes/tools/share/jrunscript.html

@ 
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/technotes/tools/share/jsdocs/allclasses-noframe.html

As I said, nashorn's 'jjs' does not run this resource script from 
jrunscript.

* jjs -h talks about command line options like -strict, -scripting.

-strict is to enable ECMAScript "use strict" mode from command line 
option rather than including it in scripts.
See also http://es5.github.io/#x10.1.1

-scripting

https://wiki.openjdk.java.net/display/Nashorn/Nashorn+extensions

explains syntax and global extensions available only in -scripting mode. 
You may want to look for (-scripting mode only) sections.

* Object.getOwnPropertyNames lists all properties - enumerable or not. 
This is as per ECMAScript spec.

PS. As for jdk8 tool docs, I still don't see new tools like 'jdeps'. I'd 
assume tools page is to yet to be updated for jdk8 specific tools. As I 
said earlier, I'll notify.
