Patch: FYI: hacking update

[Tom Tromey]

I'm checking this in.  This documents a couple more redundant bits
that we can omit in our coding standard.

Let me know if you object to this change; I'm assuming everybody will
pretty much find it unobjectionable, but if I'm wrong I will back it
out.

        * doc/hacking.texinfo (Source Code Style Guide): Mention `extends
        Object' and `import java.lang.Integer' as redundant.
