Minor Description
When no site descriptor file exists in the project,
executing the effective-site goal and the site goal in order like below fails.
>mvn -Doutput=src/site/site.xml site:effective-site
>mvn site:site
Error:
[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-site-plugin:3.2:site (default-cli) on project maven-exercise: SiteToolException: Error parsing site descriptor: processing instruction can not have PITarget with reserveld xml name (position: START_DOCUMENT seen ...==================================================== -->\r\n\r\n<?xml ... @16:7) -> [Help 1]

When no site descriptor file exists, could you make the generated contents by the effective-site goal with the output parameter valid as a site descriptor file, so that the site goal works without removing duplicate XML declaration and the comments manually from it first?
