Hi,

Please review my fix for 8010325. Some background:

The alternative string-hashing implementation[1] added to java.lang.String a new public method, hash32(), as well as a new private int field to cache the alternate hash value.

Following 8005698 [2] and 8005704 [3], the new method and field in String are no longer used.

By updating a couple lines in Hashtable/HashMap/WeakHashMap, the internal sun.misc.Hashing class can also be removed.

The webrev is here: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~bchristi/8010325/webrev.00/

Thanks, -Brent
