Cannot link to javadoc from jdk11's javadoc tool [issue originally filed at grpc/grpc.github.io#801]

See the description at
grpc/grpc.github.io#801

We might need to generate a package-list.html page for javadoc. Related to #3522

59d8f89 was reverted via force-push. Renaming didn't work because javadoc didn't request package-list.html (only package-list)?

[dapengzhang0]

Now javadoc.io has fixed an issue maxcellent/javadoc.io#20, maybe it was the same issue that javadoc.io didn't work to resolve our issue before, maybe we can test again with javadoc.io or static.javadoc.io

I tested with jdk 11.0.2, the issue is gone, even not with javadoc.io
