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 Java 16 ``++records++`` are finalized and can be safely used in production code. ``++Records++`` represent immutable read-only data structure and should be used instead of creating immutable classes. Immutability of records is guaranteed by the Java language itself, while implementing immutable classes on your own might lead to some bugs.
One of the important aspects of ``++records++`` is that final fields can't be overwritten using reflection.
This rule reports an issue on classes for which all these statements are true:
* all instance fields are private and final
* has only one constructor with a parameter for all fields
* has getters for all fields
=== Noncompliant code example
[source,java]
----
final class Person { // Noncompliant
private final String name;
private final int age;
public Person(String name, int age) {
this.name = name;
this.age = age;
}
public String getName() {...}
public int getAge() {...}
@Override
public boolean equals(Object o) {...}
@Override
public int hashCode() {...}
@Override
public String toString() {...}
}
----
=== Compliant solution
[source,java]
----
record Person(String name, int age) { }
