Here's the first step towards fixing JDK-8177434
<https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8177434>. A framework is
added for converting markdown specs to html using pandoc. The Java
serialization spec is added in markdown format as a proof of concept.
I also reintroduced the functionality to enable full docs if all
prerequisites are present.
Note that this fix is dependent on the patch for JDK-8178038 et al
that is currently out for review. The webrev is created with that
patch as baseline.
This fix is part of JEP 299. I intend to push it to jdk9.
Here's an example of the generated output:

Bug: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8179022

I just skimmed this and notice this adds class.gif with output that I
think is serialver. This tool has been changed in JDK 9 to drop the GUI
and so this image and the reference to the "Show" button are now
obsolete. I'm sure you don't want want to get into issues like this but
we will need to submit a few bugs to ensure that some of the dusty
documents are updated.
