Please review a relatively simple change to the `add` methods for Content and its subtypes, to support chained usage.

The primary change is in Content (the last file listed in the webrev), where the return type of the `add` methods is changed from `void` to`Content. In addition, I added default methods to throw UnsupportedOperationException, and improved the doc comments.

Most of the other changes are consequences of the changes to Content. In particular, overriding methods are removed when the new default method provides the same behavior, and the return type of the remaining overriding methods is updated to be the return type of the overriding class ... i.e. using a covariant return.

The 3 small changes in doc comments in Table are unrelated. One is a grammatical fix; the others fix bad references to methods.

All the code is functionally equivalent to before; there are no changes required to any tests.

This changeset does not attempt to go and retrofit chained calls at possible use-sites.
