Please review JDK-8167037 "Remove CALL_METHOD support from internal Nashorn 
linkers" at <http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~attila/8167037/webrev.jdk9> for 
<https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8167037>

Nashorn never emits CALL_METHOD Dynalink operation; therefore code for 
supporting it in internal linkers (those that only service call sites in 
Nashorn-generated bytecode) is unnecessary. 

I originally stumbled upon this inspecting ScriptObject.findCallMethodMethod() 
and noticed that the code was even somewhat incorrect by weakening the lookup 
of the call to public lookup. Thinking of fixing it, I realized it's actually 
never used.

Thanks,
  Attila.
