javadoc fix and better cleanup for WriteTimeoutHandler

Motivation:

- Javadoc is not correct (#4353)
- WriteTimeoutHandler does not always cancel the timeout task (#2973)

Modifications:

Fix the javadoc and cleanup timeout task in handlerRemoved

Result:

WriteTimeoutHandler's javadoc describes the correct behavior and it will cancel timeout tasks when it's removed.
