Summary

Remove references to vestigial java.io.InterruptedIOException.

Problem

The specification of the method java.io.PrintStream.checkError() includes references to InterruptedIOException which is vestige of legacy and Solaris-specific interruptible I/O

Solution

Remove references to InterruptedIOException. In passing also make the verbiage of the checkError(), clearError(), and setError() methods consistent between PrintStream and java.io.PrintWriter.
