[Nestmates] RFR (S): 8197915: [Nestmates] Implement receiver typecheck for private invokeinterface use

Updated webrev:

http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~dholmes/8197915/webrev.v2/

Changes:

- DirectMethodHandles.java: new simple and direct approach to dealing 
with LF_SPECIAL_IFC
- New regression test for the final virtual call from an interface bug 
introduced by 8200167.

If necessary/desirable I can fix that part in mainline separately. So 
far no tests (including jck/API/java/lang) seem to tickle it.

Thanks,
David
