JDK-8177681 - Remove terminally deprecated methods Runtime.getLocalized{Input,Output}Stream
Description
Remove two methods; they have been deprecated for more than a decade,
do not seem to be in use anywhere, and have degenerate implementations.

java.lang.Runtime.getLocalizedInputStream(InputStream in)
java.lang.Runtime.getLocalizedOutputStream(OutputStream out)
Comments
One suggestion for 9 is to replace the javadoc to specify the long standing behavior. Also the @deprecated note could make it clearer that the method will likely be removed in a future release.
