STORM-1218: Use markdown for JavaDoc
JIRA: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/STORM-1218
This is a first pass at converting the JavaDoc in `storm-core` to markdown,
using [pegdown-doclet](https://github.com/Abnaxos/pegdown-doclet). If there is
support from the community, I will move on to other components, though any html
will just pass through, so it shouldn't garble, and will likely improve any
existing javadoc.
The first commit adds the corresponding maven javadoc plugin to the default
build. This means it will increase build time when you run `mvn install`, but
it will also spit out warnings about javadoc problems and may encourage
developers to fix or improve documentation problems.
The second commit is a quick pass over `storm-core` to remove unnecessary
HTML and some minor javadoc comment linting. Only javadoc comments were
modified.
The third commit adds the `highlight.js` license to both the source and
binary LICENSE files, since the generated javadoc includes it. I'm not sure
this is necessary, since the JavaDoc is generated, but I will find out if
there's support for this patch.
*Note:* The [pegdown-doclet
licence](https://github.com/Abnaxos/pegdown-doclet/blob/master/LICENSE.txt) is
GPL, but it's only used at build time, so that does not seem to present a
licensing issue.
