Fix documentation on resource clean up in conjunction with DiskFileItemFactory
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: FILEUPLOAD-155
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FILEUPLOAD-155
             Project: Commons FileUpload
          Issue Type: Improvement
    Affects Versions: 1.2.1
            Reporter: Jörg Heinicke


1. http://commons.apache.org/fileupload/using.html:

"return new DiskFileItemFactory(fileCleaningTracker, 
DiskFileItemFactory.DEFAULT_SIZE_THRESHOLD, repository);"

DiskFileItemFactory does not have such a constructor.

2. 
http://commons.apache.org/fileupload/apidocs/org/apache/commons/fileupload/disk/DiskFileItemFactory.html

"When using the DiskFileItemFactory, then you should consider the following: 
Temporary files are automatically deleted as soon as they are no longer needed. 
(More precisely, when the corresponding instance of File is garbage collected.) 
Cleaning up those files is done by an instance of FileCleaningTracker, and an 
associated thread. In a complex environment, for example in a web application, 
you should consider terminating this thread, for example, when your web 
application ends. See the section on "Resource cleanup" in the users guide of 
commons-fileupload."

That's at least not precise. By default there is no FileCleaningTracker.

3. 
http://commons.apache.org/fileupload/apidocs/org/apache/commons/fileupload/disk/DiskFileItemFactory.html#getFileCleaningTracker()

"Returns: An instance of FileCleaningTracker, defaults to 
FileCleaner.getInstance(). Null, if temporary files aren't tracked."

There is no default tracker.

4. 
http://commons.apache.org/fileupload/apidocs/org/apache/commons/fileupload/disk/DiskFileItemFactory.html#setFileCleaningTracker(org.apache.commons.io.FileCleaningTracker)

"Returns the tracker, which is responsible for deleting temporary files."

Obviously wrong for setter. Copy&Paste error from getter.
