[Java] ErrorProne Enhancements with @FormatMethod and @FormatString

[vibhatha]

Describe the enhancement requested

ErrorProne warnings have been common to functions with a similar signature as follows.

private void hist(String noteFormat, Object... args) {
 if (historicalLog != null) {
 historicalLog.recordEvent(noteFormat, args);
 }
}

And they must be updated as follows.

@FormatMethod
private void hist(@FormatString String noteFormat, Object... args) {
 if (historicalLog != null) {
 historicalLog.recordEvent(noteFormat, args);
 }
}

At the moment, this would be suppressed based on the discussion here. But this must be resolved once we support JDK11+.
