LANG-1819: Fix
ArrayUtils.removeAll()Javadoc for null array inputThe Javadoc for all
ArrayUtils.removeAll()overloads incorrectly statedthat passing a null array would throw an IndexOutOfBoundsException. The
actual implementation delegates to the generic removeAll(Object, int...)
overload, which returns null silently when the array is null.
As per the discussion on the issue report LANG-1819 the Javadoc has been updated across all primitive and Object overloads to accurately reflect the actual behavior — that null is returned when the input array is null.
