Please review these mostly simple changes to replace HTML tags which are 
not valid in HTML 5 in public doc comments in java.base.

As with the previous changes, the changes were done mechanically, using 
the following sed script:

s|<tt>|<code>|g
s|</tt>|</code>|g
s|<\\/tt>|<\\/code>|g
s|\(<td[^>]*\)><center>\([^<]*\)</center>|\1 style="text-align:center">\2|
s|<center><table |<div style="text-align:center"><table style="margin:0 
auto" |
s|</center>|</div>|
s|<font |<span |
s|</font>|</span>|

The unusual form of the 3rd line was to cover the occurrence in a makefile.

The 4th line is specific for DataInput.java, and replaces <center> 
within a <td> with a style on the <td> element itself.

The 5th and 6th lines are specific to URLConnection. The use of the 
table itself and the ASCII art that follows it are questionable, but the 
intent here is just to update the HTML and not to rework the visual 
appearance of the generated documentation.

The changes cover files in the following packages:

java.base java/io
java.base java/net
java.base java/util
java.base javax/net/ssl
