8043611: Move timing dependent benchmark for apply2call specialization to currently_failing. It is dependent that nothing takes machine time when doing the two runs, causing spurious assertions. Suggest running octane.raytrace manually instead to verify that this works, or incorporating it in the nightly test suite Reviewed-by: sundar, attila

8043633: In order to remove global state outside of contexts, make sure Timing class is an instance and not a static global collection of data. Move into Context. Move -Dnashorn.timing to an official logging option. Reviewed-by: sundar, attila

8040102: Remove all references to Unsafe and definition of anonymous clases from the code Summary: As the catch combinator optimization is now part of java.lang.invoke we don't need to put our own in the boot class path in any configuration anymore. Furthermore, with the completion of the array performance subtask of optimistic typing, we can remove the experimental (commented out) Unsafe accessors in the ArrayData classes Reviewed-by: attila, jlaskey
