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?
In Records serialization is not done the same way as for ordinary serializable or externalizable classes. Records serialization does not rely on the ``++serialVersionUID++`` field, because the requirement to have this field equal is waived for record classes. By default, all records will have this field equal to ``++0L++`` and there is no need to specify this field with ``++0L++`` value and it is possible to specify it with some custom value to support serialization/deserialization involving ordinary classes.
This rule raises an issue when there is a ``++private static final long serialVersionUID++`` field which is set to ``++0L++`` in a Record class.
=== Noncompliant code example
[source,java]
----
record Person(String name, int age) implements Serializable {
@Serial
private static final long serialVersionUID = 0L; // Noncompliant
}
----
=== Compliant solution
[source,java]
----
record Person(String name, int age) implements Serializable {} // Compliant
record Person(String name, int age) implements Serializable {
@Serial
private static final long serialVersionUID = 42L; // Compliant
}
