JDK-4882666 - Make typesafe versions of System.arraycopy
Description
Please make typesafe versions of array copy operations.  One way to do
this would be to add the following methods to java.util.Arrays:

	static <T> void arrayCopy(T[] chicken, T[] egg);
	static void arrayCopy(int[] src, int[] dest);
	static void arrayCopy(float[] src, float[] dest);
	etc.

We should also consider adding corresponding methods to java.lang.System.
