Description
The Definitely Unassigned analysis fails to detect the error in a lambda expression initializing a blank final field.

public class LambdaFieldInit {

    private final String x;

    public LambdaFieldInit() {
        Runnable r1 = () -> x = "hi";
        x = "abc";
        r1.run();
        System.out.println(x);
    }

    public static void main(String... args) { new LambdaFieldInit(); }
}

Expected: compiler error in the lambda body's assignment to 'x'
Actual: compiles, prints "hi" at runtime

It needs to be specified that 'x' is not DU in the body of the lambda; currently, that specification is missing.  See JDK-8043176.
