Hi,
initializing java.util.jar.Attributes.Name.<clinit> executes ~20k
bytecodes setting up and eagerly calculating case-insensitive hash codes
for a slew of Name objects.
By archiving the resulting set of Names and initializing public
constants from the archived map, we reduce time spent starting up
(Name.<clinit> drops to 368 executed bytecodes) and improve the
footprint sharing effect of using CDS:

Testing: tier1-2 running
Verified a 1-2.5ms startup improvement on java -jar Hello.jar
- significant and stable reduction in instruction count, branches and
branch misses
- only adds ~1.1Kb to the dumped CDS archive
Thanks!
