AVRO-3257: IDL support for nullable types (#1411)
* AVRO-3256: IDL type reference with annotation throws error
Previous versions would alter the referenced type when encountering an
annotation on (for example) a field type. This change makes references
read-only.
* AVRO-3256: Document new behavior of annotations
Documented that references to named types cannot be annotated. Also
described where annotations for named types should go.
Lastly, the example has been fixed to match this change, and now also
contains various types of documentation.
* AVRO-3257: Add syntax for unions of null with a type
Added Kotlin-style syntax for optional types. `MyType?` compiles to the
same result as `union { null, MyType }`.
This commit includes the documentation update.
* AVRO-3257: Remove unused variable from JavaCC grammar
* AVRO-3257: Fluid unions for optional types
The syntax for optional types now put the null type in the unions based
on the default value (if any).
This commit includes the documentation update.
* AVRO-3257: Add comments explaining features
* Fix typo in HTML
