The recent change to update javadoc to not generate frames by default
means that the overview-summary.html file is no longer generated: the
content that was previously in that file is now in the top-level
index.html file.
This means that any saved bookmarks to the overview-summary.html file
are invalid.
The fix is to generate a dummy overview-summary.html that simply
redirects to the top-level index.html file. The file is only generated
when it would otherwise have been generated in frames mode. The file may
eventually be removed in an unspecified future release, after suitable
explicit warnings have been made.
The change leverages the existing code in IndexRedirectWriter.java, by
generalizing it to create redirect files from any file to any other file
in the doc bundle.
