bug: JAR file entry hash table uses too much memory (zip_util.c) https://jbs.oracle.com/bugs/browse/JDK-8005466

Summary:

This submission is just a one-liner fix that changes 64-bit structure member alignment. The savings are only half as noted in the original bug description, but still significant:

 HelloWorld: about 150KB.
 Eclipse: about 540KB.

This benefits all 64-bit VMs, as well as 32-bit VMs that are built with ABIs that require 8-byte structure alignment for jlong (e.g., as ARM EABI).

(I have another fix that would reduce memory usage further, but it's too risky now and I may wait till JDK9).

Repository used:

I usedhttp://hg.openjdk.java.net/hsx/hotspot-rt/. Not sure if this is the right repo to use.

Tests run:

Thanks, Ioi
