Inline adoc when include has no additional value (#1940)
Inline adoc files when they are included exactly once.

Also fix language tags because this inlining gives us better information
on what language the code is written in.

== Why is this an issue?
When ``++java.io.File#delete++`` fails, this ``++boolean++`` method simply returns ``++false++`` with no indication of the cause. On the other hand, when ``++java.nio.file.Files#delete++`` fails, this ``++void++`` method returns one of a series of exception types to better indicate the cause of the failure. And since more information is generally better in a debugging situation, ``++java.nio.file.Files#delete++`` is the preferred option.
=== Noncompliant code example
[source,java]
----
public void cleanUp(Path path) {
File file = new File(path);
if (!file.delete()) { // Noncompliant
//...
}
}
----
=== Compliant solution
[source,java]
----
public void cleanUp(Path path) throws NoSuchFileException, DirectoryNotEmptyException, IOException {
Files.delete(path);
}
