SI-7445 ListMap.tail is returning wrong result

Reverted the commit that introduced the bug, and modified HashMap to no
longer assume that tail is O(1).

Add support for Java 8 in our build.

We explicitly check for supported Java versions in our build.
Add Java 8 to the list of supported versions.
Work-around for partest failure due to JDK bug.

JDK7 and JDK8 have a bug that causes JVM to print some warning about
applets that is unrelated to whatever we are testing in Scala. Let's
work it around using test/files/filters mechanism that allows us to filter
out output lines based on regexp.
Make abstract-report2 test less dependent on std library.

Replace the use of `Ordering` by custom, dummy trait Xyz defined in test's
source.

By not inheriting from Ordering in abstract-report2 we make the test
less dependent on both Scala and Java library. The reason we are less
dependent on Java is because Ordering extends Java's comparator.

This change is motivated by the fact that Java 8 introduced default
method `reversed` to Comparator interface and we get a failure due to
conflicting inheritance:

-abstract-report2.scala:9: error: trait Bippy inherits conflicting members:
-  method reversed in trait TraversableOnce of type => List[(T2, String)]  and
-  method reversed in trait Comparator of type ()java.util.Comparator[T3]
-(Note: this can be resolved by declaring an override in trait Bippy.)
-trait Bippy[T1, T2, T3] extends Collection[T1] with TraversableOnce[(T2, String)] with Ordering[T3]
-      ^

Use more precise return types for objects

This ensures that q"object O" is of type ModuleDef rather than
Tree and similarly q"package object O" is of type PackageDef.

SI-7919 Newline after empty string interp

SI-2066 -Xsource:2.10: lenient treatment of variance in <:<, =:=

The soundness hole was exploited in Scalaz. They have fixed their
codebase correctly for Scalac 7.1.x, but have less freedom to
break source compatiblity in 7.0.x.

After this commit, they could choose to compile that branch with
-Xsource:2.10

Fix misuse of underscores.

It's a language bug, but M[_] <: Foo[_] does not mean what
anyone who writes it believes that it means. You have to give
the type parameter a name, like M[X] <: Foo[X].
