> Previously, the default notices were taken from the module's `legal` 
> directory (`$JAVA_HOME/legal/jdk.javadoc`), but in some contexts, these files 
> were either symbolic links, or "descriptive links" -- text files containing 
> the words "Please see ..." -- on platforms that did not support symbolic 
> links. This was set up when using `jlink` to create the image.  These 
> "descriptive links" were insufficient and inappropriate when used in a 
> generated docs bundle.
> 
> The solution is to put a copy of the necessary files into the `jdk.javadoc` 
> module itself, at build time, as resource files, and to copy the files from 
> there instead of the module's `legal` directory. 
> 
> The set of files may vary depending on the kind of build, so care is taken to 
> not hardwire any specific list of names into the code. This means using 
> direct access to the underlying `jrt:` file system in order to determine the 
> set of legal notices that were set up at build time. 
> 
> The main test for legal notices is updated to verify that the words "Please 
> see ..." do not appear in any of the legal notices in a generated docs 
> bundle. There should be no other change to the set of legal notices.
> 
> Two other tests were affected, because they provided their own minimal file 
> manager for use with `javadoc`, which relied on default methods in the file 
> manager API. These default methods are not sufficiently for handling paths in 
> non-default file systems, such as the `jrt:` file system used to access the 
> resources for the legal notices. The fix is just to override the necessary 
> methods.
