Updated Draft specs for JEP 359 (Records)

[Maurizio Cimadamore]

Sorry, I think I was put off tracks by this:

"The body of the canonical constructor must not contain a return 
statement (14.17)."

Which appears on both compact and non-compact forms. I think non-compact 
constructors are just... constructors, so no additional rule/restriction 
should apply there?
