Can I please get a review of this change which addresses the issue noted in https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8369181?
As noted in that issue, if `finish()` is called on a `InflaterOutputStream` that was constructed without passing a `Inflater`, then any subsequent `write()`s on that `InflaterOutputStream` result in an `IllegalStateException`, because we close the `Inflater` in `finish()`. The commit in this PR, fixes the issue by throwing the specified `IOException` in place of the `IllegalStateException`.
At the same time, the documentation of `finish()` has been enhanced to clarify the current behaviour, through a `@implSpec`.
Alternative approaches of deprecating finish() and/or not closing the default Inflater were considered, but given the current long standing implementation of finish(), it was decided to merely specify the current behaviour of closing the default Inflater in finish().
A new jtreg test has been added to reproduce the issue and verify the fix. tier1, tier2, tier3 testing of this change completed without any related issues.
I'll file a CSR shortly for this change.
