> As proposed in JDK-8265891, this PR provides an implementation for `Channels.newInputStream().transferTo()` which provide superior performance compared to the current implementation. This PR is a spin-off from https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/pull/4263 and deliberately concentrates **only** on `FileChannel`s. Other types of channels will be discussed in future PRs.
> 
> * Prevents transfers through the JVM heap as much as possibly by offloading to deeper levels via NIO, hence allowing the operating system to optimize the transfer.
> 
> Using JMH I have benchmarked both, the original implementation and this implementation, and (depending on the used hardware and use case) performance change was approx. doubled performance. A rather similar approach in different use casse was recently implemented by https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/pull/5097 which was reported by even provide 5x performance (https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/pull/5097#issuecomment-897271997).
> 
> **Update:** This sub-issue *only* defines the work to be done to implement JDK-8265891 *solely* for the particular case of FileChannel.transferTo(WriteableByteChannel), including special treatment of SelectableByteChannel, as the `master` branch already contains code to handle the specific case of FileChannel.transferTo(FileChannel).
