Review request for JDK-8020745: Suspicious MethodParameters attribute generated for local classes capturing local variables

[Alex Buckley]

- Method makeAnonExtendsInner does not return an instance of an 
anonymous class whose superclass is inner. InnerList is a local class, 
and its superclass ArrayList is top level. Also, you should document the 
kinds of classes for which you're exercising parameter generation.

- Encapsulate! The "expected" variables like Inner_names should be 
closer to the classes declaring the "actual" variables (i.e. constructor 
parameters) of interest. checkConstructor should merely have to ask that 
class to check itself.
