Description

We generate source code with line numbers for inclusion in the javadoc JARs. Given that there's github and other online viewers, this doesn't seem so useful these days.

Disabling the "linkSource" option saves us 40MB for the hadoop-common javadoc jar:

-rw-r--r-- 1 andrew andrew 98M Oct  5 14:44 hadoop-common-3.0.0-alpha2-SNAPSHOT-javadoc.jar
-rw-r--r-- 1 andrew andrew 58M Oct  5 15:00 ./hadoop-common-project/hadoop-common/target/hadoop-common-3.0.0-alpha2-SNAPSHOT-javadoc.jar
