RFR(M): 8202745: Remove hyphens from "out-of-bounds".

Hi Goetz,

The grammar can be a bit subtle here. IIUC we would say:

"Index %d out of bounds for length %d"

but if we turn it around we'd say:

"out-of-bounds index %d for length %d"

Anyway changes seem fine to me. Couple of comments below.

I'd consider that an adjective form. It should say "// Throw 
out-of-bounds exception if ..."

src/java.base/share/classes/java/util/Objects.java

I'll just note that this grammatical change does not require a CSR request.


Thanks,
David
