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?
``++Optional++`` value can hold either a value or not. The value held in the ``++Optional++`` can be accessed using the ``++get()++`` method, but it will throw a
``++NoSuchElementException++`` if there is no value present. To avoid the exception, calling the ``++isPresent()++`` or ``++! isEmpty()++`` method should always be done before any call to ``++get()++``.
Alternatively, note that other methods such as ``++orElse(...)++``, ``++orElseGet(...)++`` or ``++orElseThrow(...)++`` can be used to specify what to do with an empty ``++Optional++``.
=== Noncompliant code example
[source,java]
----
Optional<String> value = this.getOptionalValue();
// ...
String stringValue = value.get(); // Noncompliant
----
[source,java]
----
if (methodThatReturnsOptional().isEmpty()) {
throw new NotFoundException();
}
String value = methodThatReturnsOptional().get(); // Noncompliant: indirect access, we consider that two consecutive calls can return different values.
----
=== Compliant solution
[source,java]
----
this.getOptionalValue().ifPresent(stringValue ->
// Do something with stringValue
);
----
or
[source,java]
----
Optional<String> value = this.getOptionalValue();
// ...
if (value.isPresent()) {
String stringValue = value.get();
}
----
or
[source,java]
----
Optional<String> value = this.getOptionalValue();
// ...
String stringValue = value.orElse("default");
----
[source,java]
----
Optional<String> optional = methodThatReturnsOptional();
if (optional.isEmpty()) {
throw new NotFoundException();
}
String value = optional.get();
