This patch modifies the toplevel javadoc of jdk.incubator.foreign to add details about the ABI support.

I've decided to split the javadoc into two main sections - one about memory access, and one about foreign function
access; they have subsections for more detailed info.

There's also a trailing toplevel section on "restricted method". I'm still wordsmithing the definition of "what's it
like to be a restricted method" together with Alex, but this is a first attempt. It is likely that, once we have this
done, we can have the various restrcited definitions inside the API refer bakc to this section.
