8037177: -Dnashorn.optimistic should be enabled by default, meaning that it has to be explicitly set to false to run with the jdk 8 style conservative types
Summary: This will be the new default setting, so the explicit flag should be removed, and instead reverse checked for explicitly DISABLED optimistic types. In the future, we might remove the flag altogether.

The Nashorn repo is in the process of being migrated to OpenJDK and as such is
incomplete in several areas.
- The build system is not fully integrated. When complete, Nashorn will be
installed in its proper location in the JRE.
- Once integrated, the correct version of the JDK will be wrapped around
Nashorn. In the meantime, ensure you use JDK8 b68 or later.
- The jjs tool has not been implemented in binary form yet. Use "sh bin/jjs"
(or bin/jjs.bat on windows) in the interm.
- The Dynalink component is not fully integrated into Nashorn as yet, but will
be when details are finalized.
- And, finally Nashorn is still in development. To stay up to date, subscribe
