Description

The ConfigDocsGenerator added annotations to modify the behavior of the generator output. (ConfigGroup and ConfigGroups).

Currently these annotations are part of flink-core and residein the same package as the various `ConfigOption` classes.

I propose moving them to flink-annotations for consolidation. We may also place them in a new module in flink-docs, but given that we already have a module exclusively for annotations this seems overkill.
