Description

Currently, the broken HTML verification in checkJavaDocs.py has issues in some cases (see SOLR-6902).

On looking further to fix it with the html.parser package instead, noticed that there is broken HTML verification already present (using html.parser!)in checkJavadocLinks.py anyway which takes care of validation, and probably jTidy does it as well, going by the output (haven't verified it).

Given this, the validation in checkJavaDocs.py doesn't seem to add any further value, so here's a patch to just nuke it instead.
