      Summary

      Change specification of java.io.FilterInputStream to indicate that not all InputStream methods are overriden.

      Problem

      Currently the class specification of FIlterInputStream states:

      "The class FilterInputStream itself simply overrides all methods of InputStream with versions that pass all requests to the contained input stream."

      which is incorrect as not all methods of InputStream are overridden, notably not readAllBytes(), readNBytes(), skipNBytes() and transferTo().

      Solution

      Change FilterInputStream class specification to read:

      "The class FilterInputStream itself simply overrides select methods of InputStream with versions that pass all requests to the wrapped input stream"

      Specification

      The only substantive change is to the class specification. The numerous incidental changes add @Override and @implSpec annotations and make a few minor formatting and verbiage changes.
