Description
Now that support for HTML 4 has been removed, the test 
test/langtools/jdk/javadoc/doclet/testLinkOption/TestLinkOption.java
fails when enabled (i.e. with access to docs.oracle.com).

The problem is the use of <tt> in the test itself, which is only valid in HTML 4, and not HTML 5.

The specific tag is not important to the test, and should just be changed to a different tag.
Comments
The simple fix unfortunately affects a nearby test, sigh. See JDK-8218944.
