JDK-8356557 - Update CodeSource::implies API documentation and deprecate java.net.SocketPermission class for removal
Description
Now that JEP 486 has been integrated and the Security Manager is permanently disabled, the following permission classes in the networking libraries area can be deprecated for removal as they are no longer useful: NetPermission, NetworkPermission, URLPermission. The URL::getPermission method serves little purpose and should also be deprecated.

Note that SocketPermission is not deprecated at this time, due to a dependency from java.security.CodeSource,
Deprecation of SocketPermission will be the object of a follow-up RFE (JDK-8356557).
