Description

Often I have to spend a lot of time digging through logs to find javadoc warnings as the result of a test-patch. Similar to the improvement made in HADOOP-8339, we should do the following:

• test-patch should only run javadoc on modules that have changed
• the exclusions "OK_JAVADOC" should be per-project rather than cross-project
• rather than just have a number, we should check in the actual list of warnings to ignore and then fuzzy-match the patch warnings against the exclude list.
