RFR of JDK-8176563: @since value errors in apis of java.base/java.logging module

[Martin Buchholz]

I wouldn't put a blank line between javadoc tags.

I'm not sure whether @since is justified for new specialized
implementations like ArrayDeque.removeAll.  It is somewhat misleading to
add the @since because that method has worked just fine in past releases
with no substantive spec change.

Hmmmm....
The most important use case for @since is for developers who need to decide
whether they can afford to use an API when targeting older platforms.  For
this reason ... I think using @since for pre-existing inherited methods is
a mistake (implementation detail).

I don't remember which way I went 10 years ago - you might investigate.
