Please review a doc-only change to mostly add missing `@serial` javadoc tags. 
This is a sub-task of [JDK-8286931] to allow us to re-enable the javadoc 
`-serialwarn` option in the JDK doc build, which has been disabled since JDK 19.

[JDK-8286931]: https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8286931

For private and package-private serialized fields that already have a doc 
comment, the main description is converted to a block tag by prepending 
`@serial` since these fields do not require a main description. For protected 
and public serialized fields that require a main description, an empty 
`@serial` block tag is appended to the doc comment instead. The effect is the 
same, as the main description is used in `serial-form.html` if the `@serial` 
tag is missing or empty. For those fields that do not have a doc comment, a doc 
comment with an empty `@serial` tag is added. 

Apart from missing `@serial` tags, this PR also adds a `@serialData` tag to 
`java.awt.datatransfer.DataFlavor.writeExternal(ObjectOutput)` that the javadoc 
`-serialwarn` option complains about. This is the only change in this PR that 
adds documentation text and causes a change in the generated documentation.
