I looked at the specdiff - easier to review than the raw text diff.
The new spec delegates heavily to the VarHandle spec.  Let's make that spec

Some of the old content, like the guidance on how to store floats/doubles
in ints/longs in package-info .java, should probably be migrated to
VarHandles, and not just discarded.
