RFR 8028623: SA: hash codes in SymbolTable mismatching java_lang_String::hash_code for extended characters.

[Staffan Larsen]

Kevin,

The fix looks good.

For tests, we are trying to avoid adding new shell-script based tests since they too often cause problems. Would it be possible to rewrite the test in pure Java code? There are some helper routines in test/testlibrary/com/oracle/java/testlibrary/ that could be useful.
