RFR 8139206: Add InputStream readNBytes(int len)

[Brian Burkhalter]

I have moved the CSR [1] back to Draft and updated it according to the content of webrev.03. If there are no more comments by tomorrow I will move it once again to Finalized. After that, once the CSR has been re-approved, then if there are no further comments on the changes I will go ahead and push the fix, assuming there are no unexpected failures in rerunning the regression tests.

Thanks,

Brian
