ci: read javadoc output from target/reports on scylla-3.x

[nikagra]

scylla-3.x is about to become a published docs version (#1080), and its javadoc.sh would
produce an empty api/. maven-javadoc-plugin moved the javadoc goal's output from
target/site/apidocs to target/reports/apidocs in 3.11; this branch pins 3.11.3
(pom.xml:536-537) while the script still copies from target/site. The frozen scylla-3.*.x
branches pin 2.10.4, which is why the published 3.x docs are fine today.

• build only driver-core — the live published 3.x api/ holds exactly
  com/datastax/driver/core. With set -euo pipefail now in force, a javadoc failure in
  driver-mapping or driver-extras would abort before api/ was written, where the
  old script still published core's docs
• resolve the apidocs directory from target/reports or target/site, whichever holds a real
  non-empty index.html and the core package tree, and clear both beforehand so the fallback
  is unambiguous in either direction
• resolve before clearing api/, and stage the copy alongside before swapping it in: the
  default branch's javadoc-multiversion.sh downgrades a non-zero exit to a ::warning::, so
  failing partway is worse than not starting
• copy rather than move, so a second run in the same tree still works

Verified on this branch under JDK 8. Before: mv: cannot stat 'driver-core/target/site/apidocs/*', exit 1, api/ with 0 files, while the javadoc sat in
target/reports/apidocs. After: exit 0, 678 files, a 3026-byte index.html, the
com/datastax/driver/core tree, and a second run still green with the source intact. Against a
stubbed Maven: a driver-mapping javadoc failure empties api/ without -pl and leaves it
intact with it; a directory named index.html, a zero-byte one and a missing package tree each
fall through to the other candidate; a failed copy leaves no api.new.

Not covered: nothing in CI exercises javadoc.sh before merge (#1103) and Docs / Publish does
not run on PRs. This has to land before #1080, which is what first builds this branch.

Fixes #1123

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The script now generates Javadoc only for driver-core. It supports both Maven Javadoc output locations and validates that the selected output contains non-empty content and the expected package. It removes stale output before generation. It stages validated output in $OUTPUT_DIR.new and replaces $OUTPUT_DIR only after success. Strict shell handling and cleanup on exit are enabled.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Change: Bug fix · Severity of issue fixed: Medium

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to b4d52

Documentation builds can briefly expose or permanently leave a missing API directory during publication failure; use an atomic replacement before merging.

Use an atomic directory exchange for publication.

The comment says the script will “swap” the API, but rm -rf "$OUTPUT_DIR" creates a gap before mv runs. A consumer can observe a missing /api/ directory during that gap. If mv fails, the EXIT trap deletes the staging directory and the previous API remains lost.

Replace the remove-then-move sequence with a filesystem-supported atomic directory exchange, or publish through an atomically replaced symlink or other pointer. Do not remove $OUTPUT_DIR before the replacement succeeds.
