6516099: InputStream.skipFully(int k) to skip exactly k bytes

[Sergey Bylokhov]

Hi, All.

it may be better to burn "skip()" in the fire of deprecation? and
implement the "newSkip()" which by default will call the "read()",
and then subclasses will provide its own fast/optimized implementation?
Or we still tries to take care about all corner cases for "skip()"?
