8358066: Non-ascii package names gives compilation error "import requires canonical name"

[archiecobbs]

This pull request contains a backport of commit 09ec4de7 from the openjdk/jdk repository.

This fixes a bug which causes some import statements containing non-ASCII class names to fail when the compiler is configured to use one of the older UTF-8 based Name table implementations (e.g., via -XDuseUnsharedTable=true).
