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?
Singletons that aren't actually singletons become problems instead. To make sure a singleton isn't instantiable, make sure all constructors are ``++private++``. If the singleton doesn't have any constructors then add a ``++private++`` no-args constructor to override the default constructor.
This rule raises an issue when a class that holds a ``++public static final++`` instance of itself has non-``++private++`` constructors or no constructor.
=== Noncompliant code example
[source,java]
----
public class Highlander implements Immortal { // Noncompliant; no constructor; default, public constructor generated
public static final Highlander INSTANCE = new Highlander();
public void eliminateRival(Immortal immortal) {
// ...
}
}
public class Kurgan implements Immortal {
public static final Kurgan INSTANCE = new Kurgan();
Kurgan() { // Noncompliant; should be private
}
public void eliminateRival(Immortal immortal) {
// ...
}
}
----
=== Compliant solution
[source,java]
----
public class Highlander implements Immortal {
public static final Highlander INSTANCE = new Highlander;
private Highlander() {
}
public void eliminateRival(Immortal immortal) {
// ...
}
}
public class Kurgan implements Immortal {
public static final Kurgan INSTANCE = new Kurgan;
private Kurgan() {
}
public void eliminateRival(Immortal immortal) {
// ...
}
}
