Description
Previously, `DatagramChannel::disconnect` threw an `IOException` while `DatagramSocket::disconnect` did not. As a result, the `DatagramChannel::socket` adapter, which calls `DatagramChannel::disconnect`, catches the thrown `IOException` and rethrows it as an `Error`. However, this was undocumented behavior and not user-friendly. The `DatagramChannel::socket` adapter has been changed to throw an `UncheckedIOException`, and the specification of `DatagramSocket::disconnect` has been updated to document that an implementation may now throw an `UncheckedIOException`. This ensures consistency in behavior between `DatagramSocket`, `DatagramChannel`, and `DatagramChannel::socket` adapter.
