In the current version of the JDK, there is a small inconsistency in the
documentation for the `javap` command.
The description currently states that, when no options are used, `javap` prints
only protected and public fields and methods.
The javap command disassembles one or more class files. The output depends on
the options used.
When no options are used, the javap command prints the protected and public
fields, and methods
of the classes passed to it.
This contradicts both the documented default for the `-package` option
-package
Shows package/protected/public classes and members (default).
and the actual behavior of the tool: package-private members are also printed
by default.
The proposed change is to update the wording to state that `javap` prints
package-private, protected, and public fields and methods when no
access-filtering option is specified.

- 8385409: Javap documentation says by default protected and public members
are printed but package private members are also printed by default (`-package`
behavior, not `-protected`)
