[code-reflection] RFR: Explicit op factory implementations

Instead of using reflection to construct operation factories for `JavaOp` and `CoreOp` use explicit methods. These methods were generated with some helper code that is commented out.

This enables constructors/methods that construct from an externalized op to become package private.

In a subsequent PR we can remove the class value factory implementation and update the examples to use explicit factories or copy the class value implementation. Keeping the annotation `OpDeclaration` seems useful for now, but may be better if enclosed within `Op`, and it may be made internal later on.
