Resolves #14405

Problem

When a parameter description contains inline tags (such as {@link ...}), Checkstyle produces multiple \TEXT\ tokens on the same line (the text preceding the tag and the text trailing the tag). \JavadocAlignParameterDescriptionCheck\ was evaluating all text nodes indiscriminately, causing trailing tokens on the same line (which start at column 70+) to be treated as separate description lines. This artificially inflated \maxColumn\ and caused false-positive alignment violations across the entire block.

Solution

Track visited line numbers so that only the first \TEXT\ node on each distinct line is evaluated for parameter description column alignment. Subsequent text tokens on the same line are ignored for indentation purposes.

Includes the test case provided by @Warriorrrr in #14405.

Do we also have a problem if a 2nd, or 3rd line in a parameter description starts with an {@link tag (or some other tag)? In that case, doesn't the text block start at a column position further away?

[Kukzze]

Nope, Checkstyle parses the leading indentation before {@link as a TEXT node with whitespace. SPACE_PREFIX matches those spaces to calculate the correct column, and visitedLines skips the trailing text after the tag.

Added a test case for this in the latest commit as well.

With the tests based in issue seems fine to include.
