OpenJDK 11 build generates `ja_JP.UTF8` manpages by default

[Benjamin Asbach]

Hello Erik,

I was not talking about the change in how to build the docs. I was 
talking about the intention of generating ja_JP manpages by default in 
OpenJDK11 build.

Since they're generated by default many distributions - e.g. Ubuntu - 
bundle them [1]:

/usr/lib/jvm/java-11-openjdk-amd64/man/ja_JP.UTF-8/man1/jar.1.gz
/usr/lib/jvm/java-11-openjdk-amd64/man/ja_JP.UTF-8/man1/jarsigner.1.gz
