RFR (CSR) - JDK-8223781 String::translateEscapes (Preview)

[Alex Buckley]

It's a bit heavy to cite a JLS section in the summary of a method. 
Recommend:

"Returns a string whose value is this string, with escape sequences 
translated as if in a string literal."  [Not mentioning text blocks for 
simplicity. Plus, if you mention them, then it looks like you forgot 
character literals.]

@jls 3.10.7 Escape Sequences  [note the new shorter name]

@deprecated  This method is associated with text blocks, a preview 
language feature. Text blocks and/or this method may be changed or 
removed in a future release.  [Also for stripIndent]
