This is fixed here by adding a checkbox for all elements/releases not included in the list if necessary.

This includes the case of a single release (where a checkbox doesn't make any sense) and the case of some or all releases not having any occurrences in the `since` element of deprecated elements (in which case the checkbox is useless as well). A more detailed description of these cases is available in the [JBS issue](https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8287524).
