6307490: (spec thread) Thread.State or related doc should clarify valid

[David Holmes - Sun Microsystems]

I've updated the CR. The current behaviour (which as of Java 6 is 
uniform across all platforms) of reporting WAITING is definitely a 
violation of the current spec - which states:

public static final Thread.State BLOCKED

    Thread state for a thread blocked waiting for a monitor lock. A
    thread in the blocked state is waiting for a monitor lock to enter
    a synchronized block/method or *reenter a synchronized block/method
    after calling Object.wait.*
