GROOVY-7611: java.util.Optional should evaluate to false if empty (Java8
VMPlugin)
Target for this would be `2_5_X` and above. For `2_5_X` and `2_6_X` it
would require that the release process build with JDK 8 so would need to
backport some of the build checks for Java version to those branches.

> Key: GROOVY-7611
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-7611
> Project: Groovy
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 2.4.5
> Reporter: Christopher Smith
> Priority: Minor
>
> In the spirit of the rest of the Groovy truth semantics, I suggest that an
> empty {{java.util.Optional}}, which is essentially a stream-safe equivalent
> of {{null}}, should evaluate to false: {{asBoolean()}} should simply delegate
> to {{isPresent()}}.
