…din#19850 EventObject.getSource says the event initially occurred on the source, which reads as if a nested child (e.g. a Checkbox) is returned. Clarify that getSource is the component the listener was registered with.

ComponentEvent.getSource()inherited EventObject's javadoc ("the object on which the Event initially occurred"). That reads as if a nested child is the source.This documents that getSource is the component the listener was registered with. Same idea as the example in #19850.
Fixes #19850
