[jdk11u-dev] RFR: 8297437: javadoc cannot link to old docs (with old style anchors) [v2]

[Roman Marchenko]

> Backporting JDK-8297437 to 11u for parity, because there are still scenarios for 11u when docs being generated are linked to external old-style anchors docs.
> 
> No tier1 regressions.
> The tests from "test/langtools/jdk/javadoc" are passed, except jdk/javadoc/doclet/testIOException/TestIOException.java - it fails on master as well.
> 
> Refactoring was made in Links.java to avoid duplicating function code.
