The Javadoc hover for types should include supertypes.

For methods, we already show the Overrides:/Specified By: information, but for types, this is missing.

E.g. Javadoc for java.lang.Integer looks like this:
---------------------------------
java.lang
Class Integer

java.lang.Object
  extended by java.lang.Number
      extended by java.lang.Integer

All Implemented Interfaces:
    Serializable, Comparable<Integer>

public final class Integer
extends Number
implements Comparable<Integer>
---------------------------------

Design decisions:
a) rendering location:
  1) in header (after the fully qualified type name)
  2) in block tags list after the main description
b) inherited/default supertypes
  1) show only explicitly specified direct supertypes
  2) show all inherited interfaces from all sypertypes
  3) also show implicit supertypes (Object, Enum, Annotation)
