RFR: 8180019: javadoc should treat failure to access URL as an error, not a warning.

OK. As the test shows, it does revert an earlier fix, but arguably that 
earlier fix was the wrong solution to a reported inconsistency.

The earlier test was specific to a particular condition ... using -link 
and -d to point to the same value. That's arguably worth checking for in 
its own right, but that's a different issue and should have a different 
error message.
