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?
There are several reasons for a method not to have a method body:
* It is an unintentional omission, and should be fixed to prevent an unexpected behavior in production.
* It is not yet, or never will be, supported. In this case an ``++UnsupportedOperationException++`` should be thrown.
* The method is an intentionally-blank override. In this case a nested comment should explain the reason for the blank override.
=== Noncompliant code example
[source,java]
----
public void doSomething() {
}
public void doSomethingElse() {
}
----
=== Compliant solution
[source,java]
----
@Override
public void doSomething() {
// Do nothing because of X and Y.
}
@Override
public void doSomethingElse() {
throw new UnsupportedOperationException();
}
----
=== Exceptions
This does not raise an issue in the following cases:
* Non-public default (no-argument) constructors
* Public default (no-argument) constructors when there are other constructors in the class
* Empty methods in abstract classes
* Methods annotated with `@org.aspectj.lang.annotation.Pointcut()`
[source,java]
----
public abstract class Animal {
void speak() { // default implementation ignored
}
}
