RFR: 8235140: 'Investigate deprecation of the Socket/ServerSocket impl factory mechanism'

[Patrick Concannon]

Hi,

Could someone please review my proposed change for JDK-8235140: '`Investigate deprecation of the Socket/ServerSocket impl factory mechanism`' ?

This fix proposes to deprecate (for the eventual removal) the API points for statically configuring a system-wide factory for the `Socket/SocketServer` types in the `java.net package`. Specifically, the following:

Methods:
  - `static void ServerSocket.setSocketFactory​(SocketImplFactory fac)`
  - `static void Socket.setSocketImplFactory​(SocketImplFactory fac)`
  
Types:
  - `java.net SocketImplFactory`

This issue is a sub-task to the umbrella issue JDK-8235139: '`Remove the socket impl factory mechanism`'. For more information, see https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8235139


Kind regards,
Patrick
