Extend documentation for Antrun execution to fix javadocs
Also update the internal review ID of the OpenJDK bug I created, because
previously I had created a feature request, which has remained
unanswered. But actually, I think it is rather a regression bug, having
found out that before JDK 16 the behaviour was exactly how the feature
request describes it.

The hint is meant to help AspectJ developers identify the places where
there are to-dos for releases supporting new Java versions. This is work
in progress, new tags can be added wherever necessary in the future. But
for now, the most important places should be covered:
- AJC version string
- Test infrastructure (test suites, classes and XML files)
- BCEL class file version MAJOR_*, MINOR_* constants
- AjcTask constants for compiler source, target, release
- LangUtil::is*VMOrGreater methods
- ASM and JDT Core dependency versions
- CI workflow file
- Release notes
The to-do to check the tagged places is also mentioned in RELEASE.md.

One less warning in IntelliJ due to the entirely optional groupId for
that plugin, but IntelliJ still complains.

Use Antrun plugin to eliminate javadoc version number in HTML
This is the one issue that cannot be solved regarding reproducible
builds by setting javadoc options, because that header comment is
hard-coded into the JDK with no option to avoid it. I just created an
OpenJDK issue (internal review ID 9076583, not published yet) for it,
but that does not help us today.

Maven Javadoc: Add options for reproducible build artifacts

On my workstation, more recent JDKs generate partly German javadocs.
Background: Avoid non-English javadoc generation. Due to
https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8222793 reoccurring at least in JDKs
19-21 and also being broken in some older JDKs, we cannot rely on just
setting the locale parameter, but also need the 'user.language' and
'user.country' parameters in 'additionalJOptions' as a workaround.

Overhaul ClassLoaderWeavingAdaptor to use statically initialised Unsafe
instances and method handles pointing to their 'defineClass' methods.
Those now work universally on JDKs 8-21. In older JDKs, the method used
to be in sun.misc.Unsafe, in more recent ones on jdk.internal.misc.Unsafe.
It is challenging to fetch instances, especially as reflection
protection and module boundaries have been increased in the JDK
progressively. But finally, a solution was adapted from Byte Buddy (BB).
Kudos to BB author Rafael Winterhalter. The previous solution to use
ClassLoader::defineClass and require '--add-opens' is no longer
necessary for the first time since it became necessary in AspectJ 1.9.7
with Java 16 support.
Add org.ow2.asm:asm-common as a dependency everywhere org.ow2.asm:asm
was used before. Maybe that is too many places, but no worse than before.
Add missing dependency on loadtime to aspectjweaver. This kept a build
like "mvn install -am -pl aspectjweaver" from picking up changed
loadtime classes.
Fixes #117.

If we ever decide to add Maven site docs to the AspectJ website, now we
can deploy them locally using 'mvn site:deploy' and publish them on a
web server or even incorporate them into the binary distribution in the
installer's belly.

Docs: Create separate CSS files, do not embed into HTML
TODO: There still is one set of CSS files per subdirectory due to the
way the docs directories are organised. It would be better to have them
just once. But to achieve that, the ADOC-to-HTML conversion would have
to be changed, e.g. using one central directory for images and
reorganisation of the overall directory structure and build options.

Using Asciidoctor Maven, we now produce PDFs (which are also linked to
from the main documentation index page) for
- Programming Guide,
- AspectJ 5 Developer's Notebook,
- Development Environment Guide,
- Problem Diagnosis Guide,
- AspectJ Design Overview.
Attention! PDF generation alone takes 3+ minutes, almost 4 minutes
including asciidoc to HTML conversion. Just deactivate the 'create-docs'
profile if you do not need docs during the build.
Closes #272.

User relative paths for images instead.
In one case, we need to copy images from a subdirectory one level up,
because otherwise the images are only found in the included document,
but not in the single-page one including it from the subdirectory. In
all other cases, included ADOCs are located in the same directory as the
including document.

The new version is compiled to target 17. This should avoid the strange
"NoSuchFieldError: RELEASE_17" error message in AJC.

Currently, the situation looks more like a Java 21 maintenance release
than directly a Java 22 release.

Let's find out if the tests still pass
- on Java 19, except for J19 preview features,
- on Java 20, also except for J19 with changed syntax.

Even though we just upgraded to 9.3 for Java 19, it does not hurt to
have ASM recognise the Java 20 class file major version.
