This proposes to update Reference::enqueue method to clear this reference

the garbage collector does that clears the reference object before putting

Reference::clear is called before or after enqueuing. I consider this
a follow-up to JDK-8071507 that soft, weak, phantom references are
automatically cleared references when implicitly or explicitly enqueued.

This looks okay to me, I'm just wondering if FinalReference::enqueue
should throw InternalError rather than UOE as it should never be called.
Also I'm wondering if the property should jdk.lang.ref.XXXX to be
consistent with other jdk.* properties.
