Description
The behavior of `StringBuffer(CharSequence)` and `StringBuilder(CharSequence)` is changed for the argument reporting a negative length. The constructors were inconsistently throwing either `NegativeArraySizeException` or `IndexOutOfBoundException`. The new behavior is to always throw `NegativeArraySizeException` for any argument reporting a negative length.
