Javadoc HTML regression bug

[Jonathan Gibbons]

Hi Anders,

Thank you for your message.  Yes, it's time for an update for doclint, 
to support all global attributes and new tags that might reasonably be 
used in doc comments, like `<svg>`.

I have filed JDK-8248437 for this.

Purely from a style point of view, it may be preferable to put SVG 
images in separate files in the doc-files subdirectory for the package, 
and to reference the files with an <img> element.
