RFR (S): 8241947: Minor comment fixes for system property handling

Tue Mar 31 15:32:53 UTC 2020

 From a build perspective this looks fine.

But it seems you are changing the interface for java.lang.System. Don't 
you need a CSR for that? Or is your claim that the interface was indeed 
changed by JDK-8197927, and it is a bug that the documentation was not 
updated to match this?

However, there is no property "vm.vendor", it must rather be "java.vendor". I stumbled over that when looking at the change of JDK-4947890 (Minimize JNI upcalls in system-properties initialization).

After JDK-8197927 (Allow the system property `java.vendor.version` to be undefined), "java.vendor.version" can be undefined, so this should be reflected in the comment. I also took the liberty to remove an unneeded import statement.
