[NETBEANS-1960] Java 11: Java Platform Manager does not read from javadoc files from docs/api/

Description

For Java 8 it was enough to provide the directory /usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64/docs/api  to provide the javadocs. For Java 11 it requires to provide each directory below, from

/usr/lib/jvm/java-11-openjdk-amd64/docs/api/usr/lib/jvm/java-11-openjdk-amd64/docs/api/java.base

until

/usr/lib/jvm/java-11-openjdk-amd64/docs/api/java.xml.crypto

If the javadoc was not found when required (e.g. when adding a method by typing "." after an object), there is no error message in the IDE log (View > IDE Log).

I would like to see:

1. That adding /usr/lib/jvm/java-11-openjdk-amd64/docs/api/ as Javadoc works for Java 11
2. An error message in IDE log if it failed to open a javadoc including the expected path.
