Description

I've a project where we want to use the javadoc:fix goal in a non-interactive (forced) mode. I know this isn't recommended usage but we have specific reasons for this particular project. It is useful to have a parameter to tell maven to skip this goal if desired.

Also, since using the javadoc:fix with "force" as part of the build lifecycle will cause an endless loop as maven executes the clirr:check goal, adding this parameter allows javadoc:fix to invoke clirr:check without looping.

Many other goals/plugins have a skip parameter, so I added one called "maven.javadoc.fix.skip".

I've provided a patch here to add this parameter. Its a trivial enough patch that I hope you'll allow it for 2.10.4. Thanks!
