RFR(L) 8223320: [AOT] jck test api/javax_script/ScriptEngine/PutGet.html fails when test classes are AOTed

[Tom Rodriguez]

you're missing the ByteCache.

Isn't box the generic term for these classes whether they are cached or 
not?  I guess what’s confusing is that both new Integer(n) and 
Integer.valueOf(n) are both boxes but one with be marked as box and the 
other won't.  It might be clearer to use cached or auto_box instead of 
just box.

Otherwise this looks ok to me.  Thanks for taking care of this.
