The finalizer methods of FileInputStream and FileOutputStream were
deprecated for removal
in JDK 9 and its time to remove them and the alternate mechanism to call
close
when the streams are found to be unreachable. The Cleaner has been used
since JDK 9 to
close file descriptors that become unreferenced.
