Description
A trawl of the java.time Javadoc yielded a number of issues. These include typos, poor descriptions and mistakes. The Javadoc has also been brought closer to a unified standard across the various classes.

See patch https://gist.github.com/jodastephen/8984256 to see the issues in detail.
Comments
DateTimeFormatter line 120 and line 269 "toString(formatter)" should be "format(formatter)"

2nd paragraph of MonthDay has "MonthDay is an immutable date-time object that represents the combination of a year and month." which should refer to "month and day".
