RFR [XXS] 8130778: (str) Make AbstractStringBuilder.append(CharSequence, int, int) to throw StringIndexOutOfBoundsException

[Xueming Shen]

Hi,

Arguably the "StringIndexOutOfBoundsException" should only be used when the index is out
of a "String" (the builder included) boundary, but the offending object and the index here is
CharSequence/index. The places that throw StringIndexoutOfBoundsException are all for the
index/offset/length of the ASB.
