[ Subject: 8006409: ThreadLocalRandom should drop padding fields
from its serialized form (was: Re: RFR (S): CR 8005926: (thread)
Merge ThreadLocalRandom state into java.lang.Thread) ]
I think we are in agreement that the pad fields can safely be removed
from the serial form. No problem. To remain compatible with the TLR
implementation in jdk7, and to have a reconstituted TLR behave
reasonably, we need to continue to write a sensible value for rnd.

If I can get agreement on this simple change, I'll finalize the "spec"
change, with respect to the serial form of TLR, and hopefully we can put
this one to bed.
