docs(bigtable): expose Base Admin Clients in Javadoc (#2833)

jinseopkim0 · web-flow · commit 2933ef6419ec · 2026-03-05T14:13:49.000-05:00
We recently modernized the Java Bigtable Admin API. The legacy clients
now delegate to the autogenerated GAPIC base clients via a new
`getBaseClient()` method. Because these Base clients are now the
recommended API surface, they should no longer be hidden from the
public DevSite documentation.

This commit updates the `pom.xml` file to:
- Remove `sourceFileExclude` entries for Base Admin Classes in the
  `maven-javadoc-plugin` configuration.
- Update the `docFX` regex to stop excluding Base classes for the
  `admin.v2` package.
