[OpenJDK 2D-Dev] RFR: 6206189: Graphics2D.clip specifies incorrectly that a 'null' is a valid value for this method

The API doc for Graphics2D.clip(shape s) claims that passing a null argument would actually clear the existing clipping area, which is incorrect.
This statement is applicable only to G2D.setClip() and not for the clip() method. G2D.clip() would throw a NullPointerException when it encounters a null argument. 
Updated spec to rectify this.
