exports lint is perhaps a little overzealous

[Remi Forax]

javac output warnings when an annotation on public methods or a public class of an exported package comes from a dependencies which is not declared as transitive.

I believe that annotations are not really part of the API so should not be checked by exports linter.
In my case, the annotation is the JUnit5 @Test, given how JUnit works, the method is always called by reflection so having a requires transitive makes little sense.
