Classfile API jdktypes package rename and Signatures move proposal

[Dan Heidinga]

As a minor consumer of the API, both changes seem reasonable to me though I
have yet to need to use either set of classes.

Given "jdktypes" isn't a particularly descriptive package name, drawing the
parallel for PackageDesc/ModuleDesc to java.lang.constant makes sense.
