8006409: ThreadLocalRandom should dropping padding fields from its serialized form

[Martin Buchholz]

Perhaps slightly better is this variant, which adds doc for the
@serialField's.

    /**
     * @serialField rnd long
     *              seed for random computations
     * @serialField initialized boolean
     *              always true
     */
    private static final ObjectStreamField[] serialPersistentFields = {
            new ObjectStreamField("rnd", long.class),
            new ObjectStreamField("initialized", boolean.class),
    };

    /**
     * Saves the {@code ThreadLocalRandom} to a stream (that is, serializes
it).
     */
    private void writeObject(java.io.ObjectOutputStream out)
        throws java.io.IOException {

        java.io.ObjectOutputStream.PutField fields = out.putFields();
        fields.put("rnd", UNSAFE.getLong(Thread.currentThread(), SEED));
        fields.put("initialized", true);
        out.writeFields();
    }
