[RFC] 8236174: Update javadoc since tags in the jfr backport

[Mario Torre]

Hi Andrew,

Yes, those are the JFR classes, they are public.

The CSR mentioned that: "The backport of the API looks appropriate for
the goals of the project".

On the other hand, you have a point that there is not some discrepancy
between 8 and later version whose javadocs says those classes were
introduced in 9. Perhaps we should not have the since updated... Any
ideas? I already pushed but we can rollback the patch if necessary.

Cheers,
Mario
