/**
 * <p>
 * Checks that Javadocs are located at the correct position. As specified at
 * <a href="https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/11/docs/specs/doc-comment-spec.html">
 * Documentation Comment Specification for the Standard Doclet</a>, Javadocs are recognized
 * only when placed immediately before module, package, class, interface,
 * constructor, method, or field declarations. Any other position, like in the
 * body of a method, will be ignored by the javadoc tool and is considered
 * invalid by this check.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * To configure the check:
 * </p>
 * <pre>
 * &lt;module name="InvalidJavadocPosition"/&gt;
 * </pre>
 * <p>
 * The following code produces a violation because Javadocs should be before all annotations of
 * the Javadoc's target:
 * </p>
 * <pre>
 * &#064;SuppressWarnings("serial")
 * /**
 *  * This comment looks like javadoc but it at an invalid location.
 *  * Therefore, the text will not get into TestClass.html and the check will produce a violation.
 *  *&#47;
 * public class TestClass {
 * }
 * </pre>
 * <p>
 * Parent is {@code com.puppycrawl.tools.checkstyle.TreeWalker}
