Calling static interface methods does not compile

[ghadishayban]

Calls to static interface methods compile on Java 8 but not on Java 9 because of a new bytecode restrictrion.

public interface JDK8InterfaceMethods {
    // cannot call either of these from Clojure
    public static long staticMethod0(long v) { return v; }
    public static String staticMethod1(String s) { return s; }
}

https://dev.clojure.org/jira/browse/CLJ-2284

Interface default methods are unaffected.

workaround macro

(defmacro interface-static-call
  [sym & argtypes]
  `(let [m# (.getMethod ~(symbol (namespace sym))
                        ~(name sym)
                        (into-array Class ~argtypes))]
     (fn [& args#]
       (.invoke m# nil (to-array args#)))))

  (interface-static-call S3Client/create))
