Added printing arrays with java.lang.IO warning.

[gem-bricks]

java.lang.IO was added with JRE 25, which provides the alternative methods print and println. These delegate to the java.lang.System.out PrintStream, and currently, while array printing with out shows a warning, the IO methods do not.

My pull request adds warnings for these methods. Using the hint has the same behavior as the System.out hints.

Tests for java.hints passed

[matthiasblaesing]

The change looks sane to me. Could you please see if you can expand the existing testcase for the hint to cover this case or add a new testcase for that?

The tests can be run directly from the IDE. Open the file and in the context menu you can find "Test File" to run all tests of that file. A single test can be run from the context menu using "Run Focused Test Method" when the cursor is placed inside the method or by invoking the action from the menu generated when clicking on the green play button in front of the test method.

@matthiasblaesing I updated the method and it passed
