This method (`copyDir`) does not really belong in `JavadocTester`. It's only
used in one test, so could be moved there, but a better home is in `ToolBox`
which already has similar methods. I'll move it there.
Separately, I see `ToolBox` could use some TLC/updates ... e.g. use `Path.of`
instead of `Paths.get` but I'll defer that to a separate issue.
