5071718: (bf) Add ByteBuffer.slice(int offset, int length)

[Brian Burkhalter]

Updated [1] to allow for the case ‘slice(limit(),0)' with no IOOBE and to add ‘slice(int,int)’ to the “additional operations” section of the Buffer class-level specification.

The CSR [2] description has also been updated but not the specdiff attachment: will hold off on that until the verbiage is agreed upon.

Thanks,

Brian
