Currently the formatter only has 2 options for newlines in annotations, one for a newline in an empty tagging annotation, and one for a newline after use of an annotation.

This leads to a scenario where a method can be formatted like this:

@Deprecated
@SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
public void setFoo(@NotNull
Foo foo) {
    this.foo = foo;
}

with the @NotNull broken away from its parameter, or like this:

@Deprecated @SuppressWarnings("unchecked") public void setFoo(@NotNull Foo foo) {
    this.foo = foo;
}

All smashed together.  Neither is very pretty.

It would be better to be able to specify Method annotations to have a newline, and Parameter annotations not to have a newline, to stay with their parameters.  Since different annotations are used in different areas of code, this seems logical.
