Can I please get a review of this change which updates the javadoc of `java.net.InetAddress.getCanonicalHostName()` method to clarify its semantics? This addresses https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8313239.

This a javadoc only change and the documentation is updated to match the current implementation. A CSR will be drafted for this change.
