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?
When a cycle exists between classes during their ``++static++`` initialization, the results can be unpredictable because they depend on which class was initialized first.
=== Noncompliant code example
[source,java]
----
public class A {
public static int a = B.b + 1; // Noncompliant; sometimes a = 1, others a = 2
}
public class B {
public static int b = A.a + 1; // Noncompliant; sometimes b = 1, others b = 2
}
