Review request: update javac to properly output mandated parameters in MethodParameters attributes

[Eric McCorkle]

Actually, it is necessary.  There are specific cases where a parameter
must be marked MANDATED, and it is marked SYNTHETIC in all others.

Most notably, only the outer this in a *non-private* inner member class
constructor gets marked MANDATED.  If there's an outer this for a static
or a private inner class constructor, it gets marked SYNTHETIC.
