Clarify the class loader example in the parent delegation section.
The previous wording implied
java.lang.Objectis loaded through the normal delegation path all the way to a bootstrap lookup. This update makes the security boundary explicit: core classes are prioritized by BootstrapClassLoader, butClassLoader#preDefineClassstill rejects user-definedjava.*classes, so the example no longer suggests that a custom loader can forge core classes.
