Clarification for CantAnnotateStaticClass2 test

[Alex Buckley]

Good question, but the test is correct in not expecting an error from f1a.

See 
http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/type-annotations-spec-observers/2013-October/000198.html 
and the ensuing rules in JLS8 9.7.4 about an "admissible" type annotation.
