If an annotation member type is changed in an incompatible manner, the `AnnotationParser` currently throws a `NullPointerException` if:
- An enumeration-typed member is changed to be an annotation type or a `Class` type. - An annotation type is changed to be a non-annotation type.
This patch creates `AnnotationTypeMismatchExceptionProxy` to give users a better error message and to delay the exception to the time where the annotation member is attempted to be accessed.
