'--ignore-source-errors' allows generating Javadoc for the packages that 
contain compilation errors. 

jdk.javadoc.internal.doclets.toolkit.util.ClassTree generates a type hierarchy 
for javadoc that may include error types such as 

class Foo extends Bar {
}
``` 
where Bar is undefined. 

The user still wants to generate documentation for Foo and have Bar as a text 
label. 

For the unknown class Bar it is impossible to detect the enclosing class/file 
and javadoc crashes with exception. 

This PR returns Kind.OTHER for the error types, avoiding the javadoc crash.
