These links may be in the main description of a doc comment, or in `@see` tags. For each link, the URL is examined, and "normalized", and inserted into the doc comment with a new `@spec` tag, giving the link and tile for the spec.

> That being said, the utility I wrote does have additional abilities, to update the links that it finds (e.g. changing to use `https:` etc,) but those features are _not_ being used here, but could be used in followup PRs if component teams so desired. I did notice while working on this overall feature that many of our links do point to "outdated" pages, some with eye-catching notices declaring that the spec has been superseded. Determining how, when and where to update such links is beyond the scope of this PR.
> 
> Going forward, it is to be hoped that component teams will maintain the underlying links, and the URLs in `@spec` tags, such that if references to external specifications are updated, this will include updating the `@spec` tags.

> To see the effect of all these new `@spec` tags, see http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~jjg/8296546/api.00/

> In particular, see the new [External Specifications](http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~jjg/8296546/api.00/external-specs.html) page, which you can also find via the new link near the top of the [Index](http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~jjg/8296546/api.00/index-files/index-1.html) pages.
