JDK-8257592 - Update serialization javadoc once JOSS changes for records are complete
Description
Work is currently underway to integrate changes for record serialization into the Java Object Serialization Specification. Once this work has completed, the serialization javadocs should be revisited.

In particular, ObjectInputStream has a large "@implSpec" section that has a bunch of text on record serialization. There are some smaller bits in ObjectOutputStream. These should be removed and replaced by a brief note and cross reference to the appropriate section of the JOSS.

Also consider updates to ObjectStreamClass, Serializable, and the java.io package spec if appropriate.

JDK-8255172, "JOSS changes for Record Classes (Final)" has been integrated. Along with what is mentioned in this issue, the suppression of the preview related warnings in OIS, OOS, and OSC, should be removed - since Class::isRecord and Class::getRecordComponents are no longer marked as preview.
