7127687: MethodType leaks memory due to interning
Summary: Replace internTable with a weak-reference version.
This is a point fix for JDK 8, and will (pending approval) also be back-ported
to JDK 7u.

Notes on process: This code is part of JSR 292. Therefore the review comments
will be collected in mlvm-dev, and changes will be integrated via
hsx/hotspot-comp.
At least one reviewer must be an official Reviewer the JDK 8 Project [1], but
other reviewers are most welcome.
The change looks okay in principle but I can't validate the new data
structure semantics.
One query I have is whether, given its intended usage, this change might
add pressure to the reference processing subsystem?
