Investigate tests disabled during transition to minimal 1.8 target

[iloveeclipse]

Commit https://github.com/eclipse-jdt/eclipse.jdt.core/commit/1bcb15a140b9989d0f33b2552989af431376ede7 disabled few failing tests that started to fail after changing minimal compilation level to 1.8 in https://github.com/eclipse-jdt/eclipse.jdt.core/pull/2551

Some of disabled tests have already own tickets, the rest must be analyzed & either tests updated or removed or code fixed.

To find tests in the workspace, just search for _2551_. Current list has 42 matches, here the overview:

I'm a bit worried about this list and the lack of action. Looks like we are losing valuable tests.
