API tweaks for JEP 457

[-]

Hello,
I believe that there are some issues with the current API of Class-File
API, where the class signature should require its superclass and
superinterfaces to be class types (https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/pull/16514)
and the type argument model adjustment (
https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/pull/16517). Yet, the current Class-File API
JEP is finalized and targeting JDK 22.

Should these 2 improvements make their way into the JEP, or should they
become separate patches integrated after the JEP's integration? Making them
part of the JEP may increase effort to integration, and making them
separate will require CSR filling and probably will cause these fixes to
fail to catch up with JDK 22.

Best,
Chen Liang
