DeuceSTM fails instrumentation of rt.jar from JRE8.

[harrisonrodgers]

Overview
DeuceSTM used for the Java Software Transactional Memory is unable to instrument rt.jar from JRE8.

Synchrobench contains algorithms that require Java 8 while also containing transactional algorithms that currently require DeuceSTM.

Potential fixes

• exclude the offending classes from being instrumented (if aplicable), or
• split the java version of Synchrobench in two, or
• use an alternative STM library, or
• ...
