Java 8: support implementing a Java 8 interface which has default methods

See original GitHub issue

[@FroMage] In theory what we need is to:

mark it as default in the Ceylon model,
not emit any bridge method for it since the JVM will provide it at runtime,
make javac not barf if it’s missing, and
support calling it from subclasses (may be trickier to emit the right code in javac)

Marking as 1.1 for now but not sure if we have time for it and if it’s urgent enough.

Following #507 this should now be tractable.

I moved this to 1.2.3 so it will show up as closed within the 1.2.3 timeframe, but if this is not / won’t be merged for 1.2.3 we have to move it back to 1.3
