The undocumented sun.reflect.noCaches option was put in place as a debugging aid when caching was added to core reflection[1], with the intent to remove it once overly inefficient uses of reflection was weeded out[2]. This appears to have been forgotten and should be cleaned up.

Webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~redestad/8169880/webrev.01/ I did see this option used in performance tests during recent Reflection caching work, but has no problem with removing it, as it is addable on the spot.

OK, thanks for reviewing!
