javadoc tweaks to WebappClassLoader

There is a full description of the 'delegate' flag on the protected boolean member, but programmers using the class are likely to look to the setDelegate function for enlightenment. Further, the IMPLEMENTATION NOTE at the top does
not mention the existence of the delegate flag.

This patch tries to makes it harder to misunderstand, since the term 'delegate' has, to me at least, a bit of ambiguity to it.

Fixed in 7.0.x and will be included in 7.0.23 onwards.
