Add @Documented to Shiro authorization annotations
--------------------------------------------------

                 Key: SHIRO-216
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SHIRO-216
             Project: Shiro
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Authorization (access control) 
    Affects Versions: 1.1.0
            Reporter: Matt Brictson


Since security concerns are an important part of good API documentation, it 
would be nice if the Shiro authorization annotations like @RequiresUser and 
@RequiresPermissions were included in standard Javadoc output.

For example, if a method in my application has this signature:

@RequiresAuthentication
public Account getAccount() { ... }

It would be nice if the javadoc generated for my method included the fact that 
the @RequiresAuthentication annotation is present.

I believe this can be done by simply adding @java.lang.annotation.Documented to 
each of the Shiro annotation types. See:

http://download.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/lang/annotation/Documented.html

As a point of reference, Spring annotations like @Transactional and 
@PreAuthorize do have the @java.lang.annotation.Documented annotation.
