 Description   

Currently the method Location.getYaw() can return a value between -360 and 360. (Tested with player)
The docs however only report that the value can lie between 0 and 360. Please update the docs or the method. https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/bukkit/org/bukkit/Location.html#getYaw--

This should be obvious to anyone who has studied middle school levels maths, angles of -180, 650, -1040 etc are perfectly valid angles even if they are not in the range [0,360]. I have updated the documentation to reflect this, but I am surprised it is necessary.
