Standardize serialVersionUID Javadocs across codebase

[Copilot]

Inconsistent Javadoc formats for serialVersionUID fields existed across the codebase, ranging from verbose HTML-linked descriptions to missing documentation entirely.

Changes

• Standardized existing Javadocs (29 files): Updated from various formats including:

  • "The <a href="...">serial version uid</a>."
  • "Version ID for serialization."
  • "Serialization version identifier for this interface."

• Added missing Javadocs (53 files): Documentation added to previously undocumented serialVersionUID fields

• Scope: Main sources (vavr/src/main), generated sources (vavr/src-gen/main), and test utilities

Standard Format

/**
 * The serial version UID for serialization.
 */
private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;

All 170+ serialVersionUID declarations now follow this format consistently.

Original prompt

Align Javadocs for all serialVersionUIDs to "The serial version UID for serialization."
