RFR: 8287134: HttpURLConnection chunked streaming mode doesn't enforce specified size

### **Description**
When using `HttpURLConnection::setChunkedStreamingMode()`, the current documentation does not make it clear that the `chunklen` parameter refers to the amount of bytes sent on the wire per HTTP/1.1 chunk and _not_ the  payload length per chunk. The `chunklen` parameter takes into account the bytes used for the chunk size header, two CRLF characters and the possible payload length inclusively.

### **Summary of Changes & Justification**
The API text has been updated to reflect the actual behavior of the method as described above to avoid a similar bug being submitted in the future and to make it clear what the `chunklen` parameter specifies.

This change will require a csr.
